Religion:Shaqshaqiya Sermon
The Shaqshaqiya[1] or Shiqshiqiyya[2] sermon (Template:Lang-ar-at)[3] is a sermon believed by Shi'a and some Sunni scholars[who?] to have been delivered by Ali.
Etymology
The title refers to an incident in which Ali interrupted his sermon to read a letter that had just arrived.[4] After being asked to resume the sermon, Ali replied: "In no way, in no way. It was like the foam on the camel's mouth (shiqshiqa) as it opens its mouth to bellow and then falls silent."[5][3]
Content
According to Gleave, Nahj al-Balagha's third sermon, Shaqshaqiya Sermon, in which Ali reveals his claim to Caliphate and his superiority over Abu bakr, Umar and Uthman, is the most controversial section of Nahj al-Balagha.[6]
Ali addressed the moral characters and plots of other caliphs and his intent of becoming the Caliph.[7] He also speaks about the people who abused the property of the early Islamic Community.[8][9]
