1. لَم يَفتَأِ الناسُ حَتّى أَحدَثوا بِدَعاً

    في الدينِ بِالرَأيِ لَم يُبعَث بِها الرُسُلُ

    People persisted until they introduced innovations

    In religion through opinion, with which no messengers were sent,

  2. حَتّى اِستَخَفَّ بِحَقِّ اللَهِ أَكثَرُهُم

    وَفي الَّذي حَمَلوا مِن حَقِّهِ شُغِلوا

    Until most of them made light of God's due,

    And they were occupied with the duty to Him they bore.
