Aba Sult Hawari has narrated that the eighth Imam, His
Eminence, Imam Ali Reza (a.s.) spoke to people in their own tongues: and by Almighty Allah, His Eminence was more learned in
all languages among the people and he spoke in the most eloquent
manner. One day I asked His Eminence: “O son of Allah’s
Messenger (s.a.w.a.), I am amazed at your expertise in different
languages.” He said:
“Aba Sult, I am the proof of God on the creatures; and the
Almighty Allah does not appoint anyone as His proof, but that He
first makes him aware of all languages. Has the statement of
Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) not reached you that: We are given ‘power
of oratory’
