أشْهَدُ بِاللَّهِ وآلاَئِهِ
وَآلِ يَس وَآلِ الزُّمَرْ
I bear witness by God and His bounties,
and by the House of Yā Sīn and the people of al-Zumar,
أن عَلِي بْنَ أبي طَالِبٍ
بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ خَيْرُ البَشَرْ
that ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib,
after God’s Messenger, is the best of humankind.
لَوْ يسمعوا قَوْلَ نَبِيّ الهُدى
مَنْ حَادَ عَنْ حُبّ عليّ كَفَرْ
If only they would heed the words of the Prophet of Guidance:
“Whoever turns away from love of ʿAlī has disbelieved.”
Sol 5.6
