I have encountered people whom I command but they do not obey, whom I call but they do not respond. Woe to you! What are you waiting for in helping your Allah? Does not the religion gather you in one place, and does not honour and zeal bring you to enthusiasm? I stand among you calling out and summoning for help, but you neither hear any of my words nor obey any of my commands, until the evil consequences of these disobediences become clearly apparent. Neither can revenge for blood be taken through you, nor can any goal be reached. I called you to help your own brothers, but you began to bellow like a camel whose navel is in pain, and you became slack like that weak, emaciated camel whose back is wounded. Then a small, shaky, and weak army of you people came to me, in such a state that it seems death is being pushed before its eyes. The commentator notes that the word 'mutadhayyib' in this sermon means 'agitated.' When winds blow in a twisting manner, the Arabs say 'tadha'ibat al-rih' on that occasion, and the wolf is also called 'dhi'b' for this reason, because there is an agitated quality in its gait.
