It is fitting that, in anguish over them, there be held

It is fitting to stand up to them ardently,

بلعنٍ صمّتَ الآذانُ منه

وسبّ للصحابة يستَدَام

وسبّ للصحابة يستَدَام

with cursing that deafens the ears,

Neither the prayer-follower knows what he is praying,

So neither the congregation knows what to pray,

nor does the imam know what he has prayed.

Nor does the imam know what he has prayed,

Friday congregational prayer is no prescribed law in their view;

And their assembly is not based on law,

they have indeed strayed and wandered in their falsehood.

They have gone astray with their falsehood and raved,

كما مَرَقت من المرمى السِّهام

كما مَرَقت من المرمى السِّهام

They have indeed passed out of religion in transgression,

They have deviated from the religion aggressively,

as arrows pass through their target.
