the Revelation

When the Revelation descended on the Prophet, may God bless him and his Household, I heard a wailing cry. I said: "O messenger of Allah, what is this wailing?" He replied, "This is Satan, who has lost all hope of being worshipped. O Ali, you see what I see, and you hear what I hear, only that you are not a prophet. But you are a minister and on the path of virtue."

(Sermon 192)
