Sermon of The Roar of A Camel - Transmission

Transmission

Shi'a believe it proves that Ali felt himself bearing more right to the Caliphate and viewed that the first Caliphs were usurpers. It is called "the roar of a camel" because in the middle of his address, Ali was presented with a letter. After reading the letter, he did not wish to continue, saying that it was a momentary complaint, just like the roaring of a camel.

The chain of transmission for the Sermon is through Ibn Abbas in the first hand, after which the chains split, one going through Ikrimah and another through Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Ali.
