1. لقد أتانا حديثٌ عن مشايخنا

    مسلسلاً أوّليّاً قد رويناه

    Indeed, a hadith has reached us from our teachers,

    which we have transmitted in a chain as the first heard from each teacher.

  2. قال النبي صلاة الله دائمة

    مع السلام عليه عند ذكراه

    The Prophet said (may God's blessing be everlasting,

    together with peace upon him whenever he is remembered):

  3. الراحمون هم الرحمن يرحمهم

    برحمة منه نرويه بمعناه

    The merciful—the All-Merciful has mercy on them.

    By His mercy, we transmit it according to its meaning:

  4. من كان يرحم من في الأرض يرحمه

    من في السماء وإن الراحم الله

    Whoever shows mercy to those on earth will be shown mercy

    by the One in heaven—and indeed, the giver of mercy is God.
