Knowledge of languages

It is narrated from Abu Hamza Naseer, the servant that he said:

I had heard many times Abu Muhammad (a) speak to each of his Roman, Turkish and Slavic slaves in their own languages.

“Allah, the Most High, the Most Holy, grants distinction to the Imam over the other creatures in all matters. He gave them distinction in the matters of languages, knowledge of the genealogical issues, of the duration of lives and events. Without such distinctions there will be no difference between Imam and others.”
