Imam Ali (as): ʿAlī said to Ghālib ibn Ṣaʿṣaʿah, Farazdaq’s father, during a longer conversation: What happened to your large herd of camels? Ghālib replied, “The winds of duty have scattered them, Commander of the Faithful,” and ʿAlī responded: That is the most admirable path they could have taken. Nahj al-Balāgha
