A Treasury of Virtues is a collection of sayings,
sermons, and teachings attributed to Ali ibn Abi Talib
(d. 40H/661AD), cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet
Muhammad, and fourth caliph. Ali was an acknowledged
master of Arabic eloquence and a renowned sage of
Islamic wisdom. Through proverbs and aphorisms, sermons
and speeches, prayers and supplications, epistles and
contracts, testimonials and homilies, verse and
dialogues, it provides instruction on how to be a decent
human being. And it combines these ethical teachings
with religious exhortations and preparation for eternal
life in the hereafter. Moreover, the lessons of the text
are clothed in the cadenced parallelisms of a consummate
oral culture, and the vivid metaphors of the Arabian
desert. Appealing to the addressee's higher nature, they
also beguile his aesthetic sensibilities, integrating
art and edification in an exquisite package of verbal
ingenuity. Of the many compilations of Ali's words, A
Treasury of Virtues arguably possesses the broadest
compass of genres, and the largest variety of themes.
The shorter One Hundred Proverbs is also a compilation
of Ali's words. Attributed to al-Jahiz ("the father of
Arabic prose"), it has a celebrity status in its own
category and its pithy one-liners are quotable quotes of
the finest order. This volume presents the first English
translation of both these important texts, with a new
critical edition based on several original
manuscripts.
