Khawarij turning into Dog

A condemned man, who was from the Khawarij, said: “O Ali, you have not dealt with justice in this reign!” He said: “Get lost, O enemy of God!” Suddenly he changed from a human being into a dog and his dress was also removed.

His Eminence said:

“Asif, the successor of Sulaiman, brought the throne of Bilquis in a wink of the eye. Your Prophet is superior to Sulaiman and his successor is also superior and more capable than his successor.”

Some feelings arose in my heart; I moved towards him and touched him. He asked: Where do you belong to? I said: Iraq. He asked: Where in Iraq? I said: ...
