Can a reliable source for the authentic sayings and wisdom attributed to Imam Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, be provided?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no specific book dedicated to the authentic sayings attributed to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). The books "Nahj al-Balagha" and the poetic "Diwan" attributed to him are not authentic. Instead, one can refer to well-known books that transmit beneficial sayings of the righteous predecessors (Salaf), such as "Rawdat al-'Uqala wa Nuzhat al-Fudala'" by Ibn Hibban, and "Bahjat al-Majalis wa Uns al-Majalis" by Ibn 'Abd al-Barr.
