Sol 6.1

  1. They said, “So-and-so—honor his due,

    for he is of the Chosen One’s family.”

  2. Then you said, “Kinship has a right

    that is not obscure to one like me.

  3. But so-and-so—may his palm be dust-covered—

    has shown disdain for the radiant Sunnah,

  4. and has adopted a doctrine of Rafḍ,

    through which he stood at a brink in his faith.

  5. Thus a part of him [perhaps: hatred of him] is a duty upon everyone

    who is fair-minded on the path of guidance.

  6. Kinship does not benefit a son who rejected

    his father’s faith, in the eyes of the loyal.

  7. And how many of the nearest kin have been brought nearer

    to baseness by some shortcoming.

  8. For disgrace engulfed his uncle when

    he opposed the one whose faith had become pure.”
