Arabic Oration: Art and Function | brill
“This erudite study is a major breakthrough in our understanding of Arabic oratory. Qutbuddin has painstakingly reconstructed this vast tradition in all its diverse guises and contexts, from the battlefield to the pulpit, from political to legislative speeches.
The book includes a large number of sermons attributed to Ali ibn Abi Talib, and also several attributed to the Ahl al Bayt (Fatima Zahra, Husain, Zaynab). It also includes the sermon attributed to the Prophet Muhammad appointing Ali as his successor at Ghadir Khumm.
