The other day I was listening to an 'Iraqi Sunni lamenting the fate of 'Iraqis. He quoted some sayings of Imam 'Ali karamAllahu wajhahu where he was describing the negative attributes of the 'Iraqi people
I do not know about the authenticity of these sayings, such as Imam 'Ali asking Allah for a better people to rule than the 'Iraqis, but as far as I know, the SaHaba al-Kiraam are the doors to the greatest door of all, HabibAllah :sas: and they were in no desperation except the desperation of the physical separation from the body of RasulAllah :sas:
Imam 'Ali was contented.
