Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Waki’ narrated to us, from Mu’adh ibn al-‘Ala’, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: ‘Ali delivered a sermon in Kufa while in his hand was a glass vessel. He said: "I have not acquired anything by means of this since I entered it, except for a gift that a *dihqan* (landowner/local leader) gifted to me."
