سالَت هُذَيلٌ رَسولَ اللَهِ فاحِشَةً

سالَت هُذَيلٌ رَسولَ اللَهِ فاحِشَةً

ضَلَّت هُذَيلٌ بِما سالَت وَلَم تُصِبِ

ضَلَّت هُذَيلٌ بِما سالَت وَلَم تُصِبِ

Hudhayl asked God's Messenger for a shameful act.

Huthayl asked the Messenger of Allah an obscene question,

Hudhayl went astray in what it asked for and missed the mark.

Huthayl went astray with what they asked, and did not hit the mark,

سالوا رَسولَهُمُ ما لَيسَ مُعطِيَهُم

سالوا رَسولَهُمُ ما لَيسَ مُعطِيَهُم

حَتّى المَماتِ وَكانوا سُبَّةَ العَرَبِ

حَتّى المَماتِ وَكانوا سُبَّةَ العَرَبِ

They asked their Messenger for what he would not grant them

They asked their Messenger what he would not grant them

until death; and they were a disgrace to the Arabs.

Until death, and they were the outcasts of the Arabs,

وَلَن تَرى لِهُذَيلٍ داعِياً أَبَداً

وَلَن تَرى لِهُذَيلٍ داعِياً أَبَداً

يَدعو لِمَكرُمَةٍ عَن مَنزِلِ الحَربِ

يَدعو لِمَكرُمَةٍ عَن مَنزِلِ الحَربِ

And you will never see a caller from Hudhayl

And you will never see anyone calling upon Huthayl,

calling to a noble deed away from the battlefield.

Calling for an honor from the abode of war,

لَقَد أَرادوا خِلالَ الفُحشِ وَيحَهُمُ

لَقَد أَرادوا خِلالَ الفُحشِ وَيحَهُمُ

وَأَن يُحِلّوا حَراماً كانَ في الكُتُبِ

وَأَن يُحِلّوا حَراماً كانَ في الكُتُبِ

Indeed, they desired indecent practices—woe to them—

They certainly wanted indecency and their foolishness,

and to make lawful what was forbidden in the scriptures.

And to make lawful what was forbidden in the books.
