1. O seeker asking for explanation of the question,
I have summarized it for you in five requisites

2. A question about consensus at all times
Is incumbent upon the forbearing, wise, well-mannered one

3. And that is regarding what his ignorance does not excuse
In it be sincere and righteous in your path

4. And no difference of opinion in forbidden question
Your asking about the nakedness of one who is absent

5. And whatever disagreement and obligation it contains
Your asking about news of one who is virtuous to you

6. A loyal one who has done a deed that is new
To him and your heart is inclined towards him

7. Also, a question they disliked as it is
Your asking about what is not pertinent and sought after

8. As for a question in which there is virtue
Your asking about knowledge which you have been enjoined to
