Amír al-mu’minín was delivering a lecture from the pulpit of (the mosque of) Kúfah  when al-Ash`ath ibn Qays (1) objected and said, “O’ Amír al-mu’minín this thing is not in your favour but against you.” (2) Amír al-mu’minín looked at him with anger and said:                 How do you know what is for me and
