1. He (‘a) said about al-Ashtar al-Nakha‘ī when he was informed about his death (may Allah have mercy upon him): If he was a mountain, he would have been a great one, no hoofed animal would have reached its peak and no bird would have been able to fly over it.

1 وقالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ في حَقِّ الأشْتَرِ النَّخَعي لَمّا بَلَغَهُ وَفاتُهُ رَحِمَهُ اللّه: لَوْ كانَ جَبَلاً لَكانَ فِنْداً، لايَرتَقيهِ الحافِرُ، وَلا يُوفي عَلَيْهِ الطّائِرُ.

2 وَقالَ عَلَيْهِ السّلامُ في حَقِّ الأشْتَرِ النَخَعِي: هُوَ سَيْفُ اللّهِ لايَنْبُو عَنِ الضَّرْبِ، ولاكَليلُ الحَدِّ ولاتَسْتَهْويهِ بِدْعَةٌ، ولاتَتيهُ بِهِ غَوايَةٌ.
