Zulfiqar

Can someone please upload a picture of Ali's sword? It is widely used as a symbol to represent Ali — the "Lion of Men" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.97.19 (talk) 05:43, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Last words

I have read or heard Dr. Shariati (Iranian liberation theologist) state that Ali's last words were "Fotzo wa rabbel Kabah" (I swear to the Lord of Kabah that I just earned my liberation). Has anyone also heard or read of this saying somewhere or has a source to back it up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.97.19 (talk) 08:07, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
