1. قُلتُ عِندي وَعِندَكُم عَمَّن

    أَوجَبَ اللَهُ في الكِتابِ اِتِّباعَه

    I said: I have, as you do, from him

    whom God has enjoined us in the Book to follow,

  2. قَولُ مَن فارَقَ الجَماعَةِ مِنّا

    إِنَّهُ قَد أَبانَ عَنّا اِنخِلاعَه

    a saying: “Whoever among us has left the community

    has indeed made his withdrawal from us clear.”

  3. وَعَلى ذا فَكُلُّ مُنفَرِدٍ مِنكَم

    بِقَولٍ مُخالِفٌ لِلجَماعَه

    Accordingly, every one of you who stands apart

    in an opinion is opposed to the community.
