Ali b. Ibrahim b. Hashim quoted on the authority of his father, who quoted on the authority of Abu Salt al-Harawi – Imam Ali Reza (a.s.) spoke with people in their own languages. By Allah, he was the most eloquent and the most knowledgeable person in any language. One day I told him, ‘O son of the Prophet of Allah! I am amazed at your mastery over all these various languages.’ Imam (a.s.) informed – O Abu Salt! I am the Proof of Allah over His creatures. Allah would not designate a Proof for Himself to any nation who does not know their language. Have you not heard Ali – Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) say? – We have been granted elaborate speech. Then how can this be without mastery of all the languages?
