ماذاWhat تَقولونَwill you say إِنif قالَsays النَبيُّthe Prophet لَكُمto you
ماذا تَقولونَ إِن قالَ النَبيُّ لَكُم
ماذاWhat فَعَلتُمhave you done وَأَنتُمwhile you are آخِرُthe last الأُمَمِof the nations
ماذا فَعَلتُم وَأَنتُم آخِرُ الأُمَمِ
What will you say if the Prophet says to you:
What will you say if the Prophet asks you,
“What have you done—you, the last of the nations—
What have you done, you who are the last of nations,
بِأَهلِto the people of بَيتيmy house وَأَنصاريand my supporters وَمَحرمَتيand those under my protection
بِأَهلِ بَيتي وَأَنصاري وَمَحرمَتي
مِنهُمamong them أُسارىcaptives وَقَتلىand the slain ضُرِّجواwere drenched بِدَمِin blood
مِنهُم أُسارى وَقَتلى ضُرِّجوا بِدَمِ
to my household, my supporters, and those under my protection?
To my family and helpers and those sacred to me?
Among them are captives and the slain, drenched in blood.
Some made captive, some covered in blood.
ماnot كانَwas هَذاthis جَزائيmy reward إِذwhen نَصَحتُI gave sincere counsel لَكُمto you
ما كانَ هَذا جَزائي إِذ نَصَحتُ لَكُم
أَنthat تَخلِفونيyou should act in my stead بِسَوءٍwith ill treatment فيtoward ذَويthose sharing رَحِميmy blood ties
أَن تَخلِفوني بِسَوءٍ في ذَوي رَحِمي
This was not my reward for giving you sincere counsel:
Was this my reward when I was loyal to you,
that you should treat my kin badly after me.”
That you repay me with evil towards my kin?
