1. Indeed, were it not for three things that I love,

    I would wish not to be counted among the living:

  2. one is my hope that I may attain repentance

    that expiates a sin for me and brings my striving success;

  3. another is my guarding my soul from every ignorant,

    ignoble man, so that I never walk to his door;

  4. and another is my adherence to the Prophetic tradition when mankind

    forget the Chosen One’s way and follow mere opinion.

  5. Would you abandon a text from the Messenger and follow

    a mere person? You have indeed traded right guidance for error.

Sol 5.6
