خَطَبَنَا بِهَذِهِ الْخُطْبَةِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) بِالْكُوفَةِ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى حِجَارَةٍ نَصَبَهَا لَهُ جَعْدَةُ بْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ وَعَلَيْهِ مِدْرَعَةٌ مِنْ صُوفٍ وَحَمَائِلُ سَيْفِهِ لِيفٌ وَفِي رِجْلَيْهِ نَعْلَانِ مِنْ لِيفٍ وَكَأَنَّ جَبِينَهُ ثَفِنَةُ بَعِيرٍ فَقَالَ (عليه السلام) :
Translation
It has been related by Nawf al-Bikālī that Amīr al-mu’minīn ‘Alī (p.b.u.h.) delivered this sermon at Kūfah standing on a stone which Ja‘dah ibn Hubayrah al-Makhzūmī had placed for him. Amīr al-mu’minīn had a woollen apparel on his body, the belt of his sword was made of leaves, and the sandals on his feet too were of palm leaves. His forehead had a hardened spot like that of a camel (on its knee, due to too many and long prostrations).
