A few years ago in my speech on the first day of Farvardin, I said here at Ali ibn Musa ar-Ridha's (a.s.) shrine that you [Americans] should be careful, that your proclaimed affection and friendship should not mean that you are wearing a velvet glove over an iron fist, pretending that you are our friends while being hostile in your hearts.
A ‘yan shekarun da suka gabata a wannan wajen, a hubbaren Imam Ali bn Musa al-Ridha (a.s) a irin wannan jawabi na farkon shekara na fadi cewa ku yi taka tsantsan kada wannan nuna so da kauna da kuke yi ya zamanto kun boye wani gatari ne cikin tsumma, kuna son ku dinga nuna abokantaka, to amma a badini kuna cutarwa.
