1. Concerning him, on the morn at Khumm, the Prophet charged

    all the people—if only they had kept faith with the Prophet.

  2. He called out to them, “Am I not your master?

    Servants of God, listen to me!”

  3. They answered, “You are our master, with a greater claim

    over us than we ourselves.” Then he drew Ali to his side

  4. and spoke to them in a ringing voice,

    making all who were alive hear his words:

  5. “Whoever has me as his master, I hereby

    appoint Abu Hasan as his guardian and master.

  6. May God be the enemy of whoever among you is his enemy,

    and gracious to whoever takes him as an ally.”

Sol 5.6
