1. Praise be to Allah, who
Has taken away our sorrow,

2. And we continue to worship Him
Since we worshipped the idol.

3. He bestowed kindness upon us and instilled
In our souls faith,

4. And much good has come to
Us from His generosity and favor,

5. When there came to us a denier
Who was a slave to us,

6. And he was not merciful to me
Nor good to me.

7. So I said to my reason to reflect
Until you see who did good.

8. What if God had not guided
Our righteous companions?

9. Then the misguided one would still be
Misleading, teaching us.

10. And here is Obaid, whom I came to
With a test, but was not tested.

11. I found him prudent,
So he did not incline or bend.

12. I tried to mislead him,
So he could say "I".

13. But he said to me, break but do not
Say "I", rather say "We".

14. Accept and bear
Every good deed.

15. So I did not find in him
Any defiance of the One who raised us.

16. Whoever deprived him of his faith,
Returns to guidance, we guide him.

17. I said, "With what were you protected,
O youth, from our evil?"

18. He said to me, "The Protector
Protected me. He cared for me."

19. Since He chose him as a master
With clear proof.

20. He sent down to him a cloak
Of pearls when he drew near.

21. And He said to me, "Be silent, O cursed one,
He is a slave to Us."

22. Mercy came to him
From Our knowledge from Us.
