-As evidenced by historical points made in the sermon, such as Imam 'Ali's (a) talk of Nakithun (his enemies in the [[Battle of Jamal]], [[36]]/656-7), Qasitun ([[Mu'awiya b. Abi Sufyan]] and his companions in the [[Battle of Siffin]], late [[36]]/657) and early [[37]]/657 and Mariqun ([[Khawarij]] in the [[Battle of Nahrawan]], late [[37]]/658 or early [[38]]/658) and as evidenced by [[Ibn 'Abbas]]'s presence in [[Kufa]], the sermon should have been delivered around late [[38]]/659 or early [[39]]/659.

Abi Sufyan]] and his companions in the [[Battle of Siffin]], late [[36]]/657 and early [[37]]/657) and Mariqun ([[Khawarij]] in the [[Battle of Nahrawan]], late [[37]]/658 or early [[38]]/658) and as evidenced by [[Ibn 'Abbas]]'s presence in [[Kufa]], the sermon should have been delivered around late [[38]]/659 or early [[39]]/659.
 [[Al-Shaykh al-Mufid]] and [[Qutb al-Din al-Rawandi]] took the sermon to have taken place in "rahba". By "rahba" here is meant a place in the middle of the courtyard of [[Kufa Mosque]] in which Imam 'Ali (a) gave many sermons or issued judiciary verdicts. This is why during the anti-'Ali (a) period of [[Ziyad b. Abih]], [[narrator]]s of [[hadith]] mentioned Imam 'Ali (a) as "Sahib al-Rahba" (the companion of rahba). According to Matarzi (d. [[610]]/1213-4), rahba in Kufa was a podium in the middle of the Kufa Mosque in which Imam 'Ali (a) sat and delivered his sermons. This is the place where Imam 'Ali (a) was said to have thrown the booties of Khawarij.
