Sol 5.6

  1. What did you want of my virtuous brother? May the hand

    of God bless that slashed flesh.

  2. You killed God’s beloved in the heart of his home,

    and came with an unjust deed, devoid of guidance.

  3. Why did you not honor God’s covenant in your midst,

    and faithfully keep the pledge—the pledge of Muhammad?

  4. Was he not among you a man of proven service and steadfast truth,

    the most faithful of you to his word at every crucial hour?

  5. May the right hands of those who joined forces never triumph

    in killing Uthman, the rightly guided, the divinely directed.
