Sol 6.1

  1. وإنّكَ آيةٌ للناسِ بعدي

    تخبَّرُ أنّهم لا يُوقِنونا

    And you are a sign for mankind after me.

    You are told that they have no certainty.

  2. وأنتَ صراطُه الهادي إليهِ

    وغيرُك ما يُنجِّي الماسِكينا

    And you are His path that guides to Him.

    And none other than you saves those who hold fast.

  3. أعائشُ ما دعاكِ إلى قتال ال

    وصيِّ وما عليه تَنقُمينا

    O A'ishah, what drove you to fight the

    appointed successor, and what do you resent in him?

  4. ألم يعهَدْ إليكِ اللهُ أن لا

    تُرَي أبداً من المُتَبرِّجينا

    Did God not enjoin you not to

    ever be seen among those who display their adornment,

  5. وأن تُرخي الحِجابَ وأن تَقَرِّي

    ولا تَتَبَرَّجي للناظرِينا

    and to lower the veil and remain in place,

    and not display yourself to onlookers?

  6. وقال لك النبيُّ أَيَا حُمَيْرَا

    سيبُدي منكِ فِعلُ الحاسِدينا

    And the Prophet said to you: O Humayra,

    the conduct of the envious will show itself in you.

  7. وقال سَتُنبحين كلابَ قومٍ

    من الأعرابِ والمتعرَّبينا

    And he said: You will make the dogs of a people bark,

    among the Bedouins and those who have adopted Arab ways.

  8. وقالَ سَتركبين على خِدبٍّ

    يُسمى عَسكراً فَتُقاتلينا

    And he said: You will ride on a massive camel

    called 'Askar, and then you will fight.

  9. فخنتِ محمداً في أقرَبيهِ

    ولم تَرعَيْ له القولَ الرَّصينا

    So you betrayed Muhammad concerning his closest kin,

    and did not heed his firmly grounded words.

  10. وأنزل فيه ربُّ الناس آياً

    أقرّتْ من مواليهِ العُيونا

    And the Lord of mankind sent down verses concerning him

    that cooled the eyes of his loyal followers,

  11. بأني والنبيُّ لكمْ وليٌّ

    ومؤتونَ الزكاةَ وراكِعونا

    declaring: I and the Prophet are your guardians,

    as are those who give alms and bow.

  12. ومن يتولَّ ربُّ الناسِ يوماً

    فإنّهم لَعمري فائِزونا

    And whomever the Lord of mankind takes into His care one day,

    they are, by my life, triumphant.

  13. وقال اللهُ في القرآنِ قولاً

    يَرُدُّ عليكمُ ما تَدَّعونا

    And God spoke words in the Qur'an

    that refute the claims you make:

  14. أطيعوا الله ربَّ الناس رَبّاً

    وأحمدَ والأولى المتأَمَّرينا

    Obey God, the Lord of mankind, as Lord,

    and Ahmad, and those who hold authority.

  15. فذلّكمُ أبو حسنٍ عليٌّ

    وسِبطاهُ الولاةُ الفاضِلونا

    That, then, is Abu Hasan, Ali,

    and his two grandsons, the virtuous leaders.

  16. فقلت أخذتُ عهدَكم على ذا

    فكانوا للوَصيِّ مُساعدينا

    Then I said: I have taken your pledge concerning this.

    So they became supporters of the appointed successor.

  17. لقد أصبحت مولانا جميعاً

    ولسنا عن وَلائك رَاغبينا

    Indeed, you have become the patron of us all,

    and we do not turn away from allegiance to you.

  18. ويَسمعُ حسَّ جبريلٍ إذا ما

    أتى بالوحيِ خير الواطِنينا

    And he hears the sound of Gabriel whenever

    he comes with revelation to the best of dwellers.

  19. وصلّى القبلتينِ وآلُ تيمٍ

    وإخوتُها عَدِيٌّ جاحِدونا

    And he prayed toward both qiblas, while the clan of Taym

    and its brethren, 'Adi, were deniers.

  20. وباتَ على فراش أخيه فَرْداً

    يَقيه من العُتاةِ الظالمينا

    And he spent the night alone upon his brother's bed,

    protecting him from unjust tyrants.

  21. وقد كَمنَتْ رجالٌ من قريشٍ

    بأسيافٍ يَلُحْنَ إذا انتُضينا

    And men of Quraysh had lain in ambush,

    with swords that gleamed when drawn.

  22. فلمّا أن أضاءَ الصبحُ جاءت

    عُداتُهم جميعاً مُخلفينا

    Then, when morning shed its light, there came

    their enemies, all thwarted.

  23. فلمّأ أبصروهُ تجنَّبوهُ

    وما زالوا له مُتَجنِّبينا

    And when they saw him, they avoided him,

    and they never ceased keeping clear of him.

  24. وأنفقَ ماله ليلاً وصبحاً

    وإسراراً وجهرَ الجاهِرينا

    And he spent his wealth by night and morning,

    in secret and with the openness of those who act openly.

  25. وصدّق ما له لما أتاه ال

    فقيرُ بخاتَم المُتختَّمينا

    And he gave what he had in charity when the

    poor man came to him—with a ring of those who wear rings.

  26. وآثر ضيفه لما أتاهُ

    فظل وأهله يتلمظونا

    And he preferred his guest to himself when he came,

    so he and his family remained licking their lips.

  27. فسماه الإله بما أتاه

    من الإيثار باسم المُفْلِحينا

    So God named him, for what he had done

    in preferring others, one of the successful.

  28. ومن ذا كان للفقراء كِنَّا

    إذا نزلَ الشتاءُ بهم كَنينا

    And who was a shelter for the poor,

    a sheltered refuge when winter descended upon them?

  29. أليسَ المؤثرَ المِقدادَ لمّا

    أتاه مُقوياً فقي المُقويينا

    Was he not the one who favored al-Miqdad when

    he came to him destitute, and he protected the destitute

  30. بدينارٍ وما يَحوي سواهُ

    وما كلُّ الأفاضلِ مُؤثِرينا

    with a dinar, though he possessed nothing besides it?

    And not all the virtuous put others first.

  31. وكان طعامُهُ خبزاً وزيتاً

    ويؤثر باللُّحومِ الطارِقينا

    And his food was bread and oil,

    while he favored nighttime visitors with meat.

  32. وأنك قد ذُكرتَ لدى مليكٍ

    يَذِلُّ لِعزّهِ المتجبِّرونا

    And you have indeed been mentioned before a Sovereign

    before whose might the arrogant bow low.

  33. فخرَّ لوجهِه صَعقاً وأبدى

    لربِّ الناسِ رهبةَ راهبينا

    Then he fell upon his face in a swoon and showed

    the Lord of mankind the dread of the fearful.

  34. وقال لقد ذُكِرتُ لدى إلهي

    فأبدى ذِلَّةَ المتواضِعينا

    And he said: I have indeed been mentioned before my God.

    So he showed the lowliness of the humble.

  35. وأعتق من يديه ألفَ نفسٍ

    فاضحَوا بعدَ رِقِّ مُعتَقينا

    And he freed a thousand souls from his own hands,

    and after slavery they became freed people.

  36. براءةُ حين رَدّ بها عَتيقاً

    وكان بأن يبلِّغها ضَنينا

    Bara'ah—when he recalled 'Atiq concerning it,

    and was protective of the task of proclaiming it.

  37. وقال رسول الله أنّى

    يُؤدّي الوحْيَ إلاّ الأقربونا

    And the Messenger of God said: How

    can any but the nearest kin convey revelation?

  38. وأنّك آمنٌ كلٍِّ خوفٍ

    إذا كان الخلائقُ خائِفينا

    And you are safe from every fear

    when all creatures are afraid.

  39. وأنّك حِزبُكَ الأدنَون حِزبي

    وحِزبي حزبُ ربِّ العالَمينا

    And your party, those closest to you, is my party,

    and my party is the party of the Lord of the worlds.

  40. وحزبُ الله لا خوفٌ عليهم

    ولا نَصَبٌ ولا هم يَحزنونا

    And God's party has no fear upon them,

    nor weariness, nor do they grieve.

  41. وأنّك في جنانِ الخلدِ جاري

    منازِلُنا بها متواجِهونا

    And you are my neighbor in the gardens of eternity;

    our dwellings there face one another.

  42. وأنّك في جِوارِ الله كاسٍ

    وجيرانُ المهيمنِ آمِنونا

    And in God's neighborhood you are clothed,

    and the Guardian's neighbors are secure.

  43. وأنّك خيرُ أهل الأرض طُرّاً

    وأفضَلُهم معاً حَسَباً ودِينا

    And you are the best of all the people of the earth,

    and the finest of them all in noble standing and religion.

  44. وأوّلُ من يُصافحني بكفٍّ

    إذا برز الخلائقُ ناشِرينا

    And the first to clasp my hand

    when all creatures come forth, risen from the dead.

  45. وقد قال النبيّ لكم وأنتم

    حضورٌ للمقالةِ شاهِدونا

    And the Prophet spoke to you while you

    were present, witnesses to his words:

  46. عبادَ الله إنا أهْلُ بيتٍ

    بَرانا الله كلاًَّ طاهِرينا

    Servants of God, we are a household

    whom God created, all of us pure.

  47. وسالتْ نفسُ أحمدَ في يديهِ

    فألزمها المحيَّا والجَبينا

    And Ahmad's soul flowed into his hands,

    so he pressed it to his face and forehead.

  48. تَعالوا ندعُ أنفسنا فندعو

    جَميعاً والأهلي والبَنونا

    Come, let us summon ourselves, and let us call

    all together, the kin and the sons,

  49. وأنفسَكم فنبتهلَ ابتهالا

    إليه لِيلعنَ المتكذِّبينا

    and yourselves; then let us earnestly supplicate

    Him, that He may curse those who lie.

  50. فقد قال النبيُّ وكان طَبّاً

    For the Prophet said—and he was discerning—
