يا أَيُّها السائِلُ عَن أَصحابي

إِن كُنتَ تَبغي خَيرَ الصَوابِ

O seeker who asks of my companions

O you who asks regarding my companions,

If you wish to know what is right

If you truly seek the most accurate answer,

أُنبِئكَ عَنهُم غَيرَ ما تَكذابِ

بِأَنَّهُم أَوعِيَةُ الكِتابِ

I will tell you of them, no lies

I shall inform you of them untainted by untruth:

They are vessels of the Book

That they are the true vessels of the Book,

صَبرٌ لَدى الهَيجاءِ وَالضِّرابِ

فَسَل بِذاكَ مَعشَرَ الأَحزابِ

Patience in the face of calamity and harm

Steadfast in the heat of battle and the striking of blows,

Ask of them, the group of factions

So ask the assembly of the Clans about that.
