How many a little orphan you restored after his bereavement,
Many a child you have comforted after he was orphaned,
How many a helpless orphan has he reared,
and how many a poor man you raised from destitution.
and a poor man you have lifted out of destitution.
And many a pauper in their need he cheered,

كلما عضت الحوادث نادى

رضي اللّه عن سعيد بن سَلْمِ
Whenever calamities sank their teeth in, he cried out:
Whenever calamities bit, he cried out:
Whenever fate's misfortunes people feared,
May God be pleased with Sa‘id ibn Salm.
“May God be pleased with Saʿīd son of Salm!”
God be pleased with Sa'id ibn Salim.
Sol 6.1
