The Peak of Eloquence · Hadith 1926 (#Passage #285)
Chapter 235 | Saying 235

as-Sayyid ar-Raḍī says: The meaning is that the ignorant is one who does not place things in their proper positions. In this way, Amīr al-mu’minīn’s abstention from describing was a way of describing him because his attributes are just the opposite of the wise.
