By Allah, God did not choose Muhammad

فَوَاللَهِ ما اِختارَ الإِلَهُ مُحَمَّداً

1. By Allah, God did not choose Muhammad
As the beloved, and between the two worlds there is none like him

١. فَوَاللَهِ ما اِختارَ الإِلَهُ مُحَمَّداً
حَبيباً وَبَينَ العالَمينَ لَهُ مِثلُ

2. Likewise, the Prophet did not choose for himself
Ali as successor, though he was his son-in-law

٢. كَذَلِكَ ما اِختارَ النَبِيُّ لِنَفسِهِ
عَلِيّاً وَصِيّاً وَهوَ لِاِبنَتِهِ بَعلُ

3. And made him, beyond all people, his brother
As helper, though among them were those superior to him

٣. وَصَيَّرَهُ دونَ الأَنامِ أَخاً لَهُ
وَصِنواً وَفيهِم مَن لَهُ دونَهُ الفَضلُ

4. And the witness to a person's sound intellect is the excellence of his choice
So what is the state of one chosen by God and the Prophets

٤. وَشاهِدُ عَقلِ المَرءِ حُسنُ اِختِيارِهِ
فَما حالُ مَن يَختارُهُ اللَهُ وَالرُسلُ
