I bear witness that you are the brother of the Messenger of Allah

وَوَصِيُّهُ وَوَارِثُ عِلْمِهِ

And his successor and the inheritor of his knowledge

وَأَمِيْنُهُ عَلَى شَرْعِهِ

And his trustee over his law

وَخَلِيفَتُهُ فِيْ أُمَّتِهِ

And his caliph among his community

وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ

And the first to believe in Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ

And confirm what was revealed to His Prophet

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَّغَ عَنِ اللَّهِ مَا أَنْزَلَهُ فِيكَ

And I bear witness that he conveyed from Allah what was revealed concerning you

فَصَدَعَ بِأَمْرِهِ

So he proclaimed His command

وَأَوْجَبَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ فَرْضَ طَاعَتِكَ وَوِلَايَتِكَ

And made obligatory upon his community the duty of obeying you and your guardianship

وَعَقَدَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَيْعَةَ لَكَ

And secured for them the pledge of allegiance to you

وَجَعَلَكَ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ

And made you closer to the believers than themselves

كَمَا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ كَذٰلِكَ

As Allah had made him likewise

ثُمَّ أَشْهَدَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِمْ

Then he called upon Allah the Exalted as witness over them

فَقَالَ أَلَسْتُ قَدْ بَلَّغْتُ

And said: "Have I not conveyed?"

فَقَالُوْا اَللَّهُمَّ بَلَىٰ

They replied: "O Allah, yes"

فَقَالَ اَللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ

Then he said: "O Allah, bear witness"

وَكَفَىٰ بِكَ شَهِيدًا وَحَاكِمًا بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ

And You are sufficient as a witness and a judge between the servants

فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ جَاحِدَ وِلَايَتِكَ بَعْدَ الْاِقْرَارِ

May Allah curse those who deny your guardianship after acknowledging it

وَنَاكِثَ عَهْدِكَ بَعْدَ الْمِيثَاقِ

And those who break their covenant with you after the pledge

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ وَفَيْتَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَىٰ

And I bear witness that you fulfilled the covenant of Allah the Exalted

وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى مُوفٍ لَكَ بِعَهْدِهِ

And that Allah the Exalted will fulfill His covenant with you

وَمَنْ أَوْفَىٰ بِمَا عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهُ اللَّهَ فَسَيُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا

And whoever fulfills what he has covenanted with Allah, He will grant him a great reward

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ الْحَقُّ

And I bear witness that you are the true Commander of the Faithful

اَلَّذِيْ نَطَقَ بِوِلَايَتِكَ التَّنْزِيلُ

About whose guardianship the revelation spoke

وَأَخَذَ لَكَ الْعَهْدَ عَلَى الْأُمَّةِ بِذٰلِكَ الرَّسُوْلُ

And for whom the Messenger secured the covenant from the community

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ وَعَمَّكَ وَأَخَاكَ

And I bear witness that you and your uncle and your brother

اَلَّذِيْنَ تَاجَرْتُمُ اللَّهَ بِنُفُوسِكُمْ

Are those who bartered with Allah your own souls

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيكُمْ

So Allah revealed concerning you

إِنَّ اللَّهَ اشْتَرَىٰ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ

"Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties

بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ

In exchange for Paradise

يُقَاتِلُونَ فِيْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيَقْتُلُونَ وَيُقْتَلُونَ

They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed

وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا فِيْ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْاِنْجِيلِ وَالْقُرْآنِ

As a promise binding upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Quran

وَمَنْ أَوْفَىٰ بِعَهْدِهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ

And who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah?

فَاسْتَبْشِرُوْا بِبَيْعِكُمُ الَّذِيْ بَايَعْتُمْ بِهِ

So rejoice in your transaction which you have concluded

وَذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ

And that is the great attainment

اَلتَّائِبُونَ الْعَابِدُونَ

The repentant, the worshippers

اَلْحَامِدُوْنَ السَّائِحُونَ

The praisers, the travelers

اَلرَّاكِعُونَ السَّاجِدُونَ

Those who bow, those who prostrate

اَلْآمِرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّاهُونَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ

Those who enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong

وَالْحَافِظُونَ لِحُدُودِ اللَّهِ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

And those who observe the limits of Allah. And give good tidings to the believers"

أَشْهَدُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

I bear witness, O Commander of the Faithful

أَنَّ الشَّاكَّ فِيكَ مَا آمَنَ بِالرَّسُولِ الْاَمِينِ

That whoever doubts you has not believed in the Trustworthy Messenger

وَأَنَّ الْعَادِلَ بِكَ غَيْرَكَ عَانِدٌ عَنِ الدِّينِ الْقَوِيمِ

And whoever equates others with you has deviated from the straight religion

اَلَّذِيْ ارْتَضَاهُ لَنَا رَبُّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ

Which the Lord of the Worlds has chosen for us

وَأَكْمَلَهُ بِوِلَايَتِكَ يَوْمَ الْغَدِيرِ

And perfected through your guardianship on the day of Ghadeer

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ الْمَعْنِيُّ بِقَوْلِ الْعَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ

And I bear witness that you are the one intended by the words of the Mighty, the Merciful

وَأَنَّ هٰذَا صِرَاطِيْ مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتِّبِعُوهُ

"And this is My path, straight, so follow it

وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوْا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ

And do not follow other ways, for they will separate you from His way"

ضَلَّ وَاللَّهِ وَأَضَلَّ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ سِوَاكَ

By Allah, those who follow other than you have gone astray and misled others

وَعَنَدَ عَنِ الْحَقِّ مَنْ عَادَاكَ

And those who oppose you have deviated from the truth

اَللَّهُمَّ سَمِعْنَا لِأَمْرِكَ

O Allah, we have heard Your command

وَأَطَعْنَا وَاتَّبَعْنَا صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

And we obey and follow Your straight path

فَاهْدِنَا رَبَّنَا

So guide us, our Lord

وَلَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا إِلَى طَاعَتِكَ

And do not let our hearts deviate after You have guided us to obey You

وَاجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الشَّاكِرِيْنَ لِأَنْعُمِكَ

And make us among those who are grateful for Your blessings

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَزَلْ لِلْهَوَى مُخَالِفًا

And I bear witness that you have always opposed desires

وَلِلتُّقَى مُحَالِفًا

And allied yourself with piety

وَعَلَى كَظْمِ الْغَيْظِ قَادِرًا

Able to suppress anger

وَعَنِ النَّاسِ عَافِيًا غَافِرًا

Pardoning and forgiving people

وَإِذَا عُصِيَ اللَّهُ سَاخِطًا

Displeased when Allah is disobeyed

وَإِذَا أُطِيعَ اللَّهُ رَاضِيًا

And pleased when Allah is obeyed

وَبِمَا عَهِدَ إِلَيْكَ عَامِلًا

Acting according to what was entrusted to you

رَاعِيًا لِمَا اسْتُحْفِظْتَ

Guarding what you were asked to preserve

حَافِظًا لِمَا اسْتُودِعْتَ

Protecting what was entrusted to you

مُبَلِّغًا مَا حُمِّلْتَ

Conveying what you were charged with

مُنْتَظِرًا مَا وُعِدْتَ

Awaiting what you were promised

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ مَا اتَّقَيْتَ ضَارِعًا

And I bear witness that you never retreated out of fear

وَلَا أَمْسَكْتَ عَنْ حَقِّكَ جَازِعًا

Nor held back from claiming your right out of anxiety

وَلَا أَحْجَمْتَ عَنْ مُجَاهَدَةِ غَاصِبِيكَ نَاكِلًا

Nor refrained from fighting those who usurped your rights out of cowardice

وَلَا أَظْهَرْتَ الرِّضَا بِخِلاَفِ مَا يُرْضِيْ اللَّهَ مُدَاهِنًا

Nor showed contentment with what displeases Allah out of hypocrisy

وَلَا وَهَنْتَ لِمَا أَصَابَكَ فِيْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

Nor weakened when you were afflicted in the way of Allah

وَلَا ضَعُفْتَ وَلَا اسْتَكَنْتَ عَنْ طَلَبِ حَقِّكَ مُرَاقِبًا

Nor did you grow feeble or submissive in seeking your right out of apprehension

مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ أَنْ تَكُونَ كَذٰلِكَ

Allah forbid that you should be like that

بَلْ إِذْ ظُلِمْتَ احْتَسَبْتَ رَبَّكَ

Rather, when you were wronged, you sought reward from your Lord

وَفَوَّضْتَ إِلَيْهِ أَمْرَكَ

And entrusted your affair to Him

وَذَكَّرْتَهُمْ فَمَا ادَّكَرُوْا

And you reminded them, but they did not remember

وَوَعَظْتَهُمْ فَمَا اتَّعَظُوَا

And you admonished them, but they did not heed

وَخَوَّفْتَهُمُ اللَّهَ فَمَا تَخَوَّفُوَا

And you warned them of Allah, but they did not fear

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

And I bear witness that you, O Commander of the Faithful

جَاهَدْتَ فِيْ اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ

Strived in the way of Allah with true striving

حَتَّىٰ دَعَاكَ اللَّهُ إِلَى جِوَارِهِ

Until Allah called you to His presence

وَقَبَضَكَ إِلَيْهِ بِاخْتِيَارِهِ

And took you to Himself by His choice

وَأَلزَمَ أَعْدَاءَكَ الْحُجَّةَ بِقَتْلِهِمْ إِيَّاكَ

And made your enemies bear the argument against themselves by killing you

لِتَكُونَ الْحُجَّةُ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ

So that the proof might be established against them

مَعَ مَا لَكَ مِنَ الْحُجَجِ الْبَالِغَةِ عَلَى جَمِيْعِ خَلْقِهِ

Along with the conclusive proofs you already had over all His creation

اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

Peace be upon you, O Commander of the Faithful

عَبَدْتَ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا

You worshipped Allah sincerely

وَجَاهَدْتَ فِيْ اللَّهِ صَابِرًا

And strived in the way of Allah patiently

وَجُدْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ مُحْتَسِبًا

وَنَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ

And forbade what is wrong to the best of your ability

مُبْتَغِيًا مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ

Seeking what is with Allah

رَاغِبًا فِيْ مَا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ

Desiring what Allah has promised

لَا تَحْفِلُ بِالنَّوَائِبِ

Not deterred by calamities

وَلَا تَهِنُ عِنْدَ الشَّدَائِدِ

Not weakened by hardships

وَلَا تَحْجِمُ عَنْ مُحَارِبٍ

Not holding back from any battle

أَفِكَ مَنْ نَسَبَ غَيْرَ ذٰلِكَ إِلَيْكَ

Those who attribute otherwise to you are liars

وَافْتَرَىٰ بَاطِلًا عَلَيْكَ

And have fabricated falsehood against you

وَأَوْلَى لِمَنْ عَنَدَ عَنْكَ

And woe to those who turned away from you

لَقَدْ جَاهَدْتَ فِيْ اللَّهِ حَقَّ الْجِهَادِ

Indeed, you strived in the way of Allah with true striving

وَصَبَرْتَ عَلَى الْاَذَىٰ صَبْرَ احْتِسَابٍ

And endured harm with patient endurance seeking reward

وَأَنْتَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ

And you were the first to believe in Allah

وَصَلَّى لَهُ وَجَاهَدَ

And pray to Him and strive for Him

وَأَبْدَىٰ صَفْحَتَهُ فِيْ دَارِ الشِّرْكِ

And you showed your face openly in the abode of polytheism

وَالْاَرْضُ مَشْحُونَةٌ ضَلالَةً

When the earth was filled with misguidance

وَالشَّيْطَانُ يُعْبَدُ جَهْرَةً

And Satan was worshipped openly

وَأَنْتَ الْقَائِلُ لَا تَزِيدُنِيْ كَثْرَةُ النَّاسِ حَوْلِيْ عِزَّةً

And you are the one who said: "The multitude of people around me does not increase my honor

وَلَا تَفَرُّقُهُمْ عَنِّيْ وَحْشَةً

Nor does their dispersal from me cause me loneliness

وَلَوْ أَسْلَمَنِيَ النَّاسُ جَمِيعًا لَمْ أَكُنْ مُتَضَرِّعًا

And if all people abandoned me, I would not be humbled"

إِعْتَصَمْتَ بِاللَّهِ فَعَزَزْتَ

You sought protection in Allah and were strengthened

وَآثَرْتَ الْآخِرَةَ عَلَى الْأُوْلَى فَزَهِدْتَ

And you preferred the Hereafter over this world, so you lived ascetically

وَأَيَّدَكَ اللَّهُ وَهَدَاكَ

And Allah supported you and guided you

وَأَخْلَصَكَ وَاجْتَبَاكَ

And purified you and chose you

فَمَا تَنَاقَضَتْ أَفْعَالُكَ

Your actions were never contradictory

وَلَا اخْتَلَفَتْ أَقْوَالُكَ

Nor were your words inconsistent

وَلَا تَقَلَّبَتْ أَحْوَالُكَ

Nor did your conditions change

وَلَا ادَّعَيْتَ وَلَا افْتَرَيْتَ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا

You never made false claims nor fabricated lies against Allah

وَلَا شَرِهْتَ إِلَى الْحُطَامِ

Nor were you greedy for worldly gains

وَلَا دَنَّسَكَ الْآثَامُ

Nor were you defiled by sins

وَلَمْ تَزَلْ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكَ

You were always upon clear evidence from your Lord

وَيَقِينٍ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ

And certainty in your affairs

تَهْدِيْ إِلَى الْحَقِّ وَإِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ

Guiding to the truth and to a straight path

أَشْهَدُ شَهَادَةَ حَقٍّ

I bear witness with a true testimony

وَأُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ قَسَمَ صِدْقٍ

And I swear by Allah a truthful oath

أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا وَ آلَهُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ سَادَاتُ الْخَلْقِ

That Muhammad and his family, may Allah's blessings be upon them, are the masters of creation

وَأَنَّكَ مَوْلَايَ وَمَوْلَى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

And that you are my master and the master of the believers

وَأَنَّكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَوَلِيُّهُ

And that you are the servant of Allah and His guardian

وَأَخُوْ الرَّسُولِ وَوَصِيُّهُ وَوَارِثُهُ

And the brother of the Messenger and his successor and his inheritor

وَأَنَّهُ الْقَائِلُ لَكَ

And that he is the one who said to you:

وَالَّذِيْ بَعَثَنِيْ بِالْحَقِّ مَا آمَنَ بِيْ مَنْ كَفَرَ بِكَ

"By Him Who sent me with the truth, no one has believed in me who disbelieves in you

وَلَا أَقَرَّ بِاللَّهِ مَنْ جَحَدَكَ

And no one has acknowledged Allah who denies you

وَقَدْ ضَلَّ مَنْ صَدَّ عَنْكَ

Indeed, those who turn away from you have gone astray

وَلَمْ يَهْتَدِ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَلَا إِلَيَّ مَنْ لَا يَهْتَدِيْ بِكَ

And none can be guided to Allah or to me who is not guided by you"

وَهُوَ قَوْلُ رَبِّيْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

And this is the saying of my Lord, Mighty and Majestic:

وَإِنِّيْ لَغَفَّارٌ لِمَنْ تَابَ وَ آمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا

"And indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness

ثُمَّ اهْتَدَىٰ إِلَى وِلايَتِكَ

And then is guided" to your guardianship

مَوْلَايَ فَضْلُكَ لَا يَخْفَىٰ

My master, your excellence is not hidden

وَنُوْرُكَ لَا يُطْفَأُ

And your light cannot be extinguished

وَأَنَّ مَنْ جَحَدَكَ الظَّلُومُ الْاَشْقَىٰ

And whoever denies you is the most unjust and wretched

مَوْلَايَ أَنْتَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ

My master, you are the proof over the servants

وَالْهَادِيْ إِلَى الرَّشَادِ

And the guide to the right path

وَالْعُدَّةُ لِلْمَعَادِ

And the provision for the Hereafter

مَوْلَايَ لَقَدْ رَفَعَ اللَّهُ فِيْ الْأُوْلَى مَنْزِلَتَكَ

My master, Allah has elevated your rank in this world

وَأَعْلَى فِيْ الْآخِرَةِ دَرَجَتَكَ

And raised your degree in the Hereafter

وَبَصَّرَكَ مَا عَمِيَ عَلَى مَنْ خَالَفَكَ

And made clear to you what was obscure to those who opposed you

وَحَالَ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ مَوَاهِبِ اللَّهِ لَكَ

And they stood between you and Allah's gifts to you

فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مُسْتَحِلِّيْ الْحُرْمَةِ مِنْكَ

May Allah curse those who violated your sanctity

وَذَائِدِيْ الْحَقِّ عَنْكَ

And those who diverted the truth from you

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُمُ الْاَخْسَرُونَ

And I bear witness that they are the losers

اَلَّذِيْنَ تَلْفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمُ النَّارُ

Those whose faces the Fire will scorch

وَهُمْ فِيهَا كَالِحُونَ

And they will grimace therein

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ مَا أَقْدَمْتَ وَلَا أَحْجَمْتَ

And I bear witness that you never proceeded nor held back

وَلَا نَطَقْتَ وَلَا أَمْسَكْتَ

Nor spoke nor remained silent

إِلَّا بِأَمْرٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ

Except by the command of Allah and His Messenger

قُلْتَ وَالَّذِيْ نَفْسِيْ بِيَدِهِ

You said: "By Him in Whose Hand is my soul

لَقَدْ نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ

The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family, looked at me

أَضْرِبُ بِالسَّيْفِ قُدْمًا فَقَالَ

As I was striking with the sword bravely, and he said:

يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ مِنِّيْ بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوْسَى

'O Ali, you are to me in the position of Aaron to Moses

إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي

Except that there is no prophet after me

وَأُعْلِمُكَ أَنَّ مَوْتَكَ وَحَيَاتَكَ مَعِيْ وَعَلَى سُنَّتِي

And I inform you that your death and your life will be with me and upon my Sunnah'

فَوَاللَّهِ مَا كَذِبْتُ وَلَا كُذِّبْتُ

By Allah, I have neither lied nor been lied to

وَلَا ضَلَلْتُ وَلَا ضُلِّ بِي

Neither have I gone astray nor been led astray

وَلَا نَسِيتُ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ رَبِّي

Nor have I forgotten what my Lord covenanted with me

وَإِنِّيْ لَعَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّيْ بَيَّنَهَا لِنَبِيِّهِ

And indeed, I am upon clear evidence from my Lord which He made clear to His Prophet

وَبَيَّنَهَا النَّبِيُّ لِي

And the Prophet made clear to me

وَإِنِّيْ لَعَلَى الطَّرِيقِ الْوَاضِحِ أَلْفِظُهُ لَفْظًا

And indeed, I am upon the clear path, speaking it clearly"

صَدَقْتَ وَاللَّهِ وَقُلْتَ الْحَقَّ

You spoke the truth, by Allah, and you said what is right

فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ سَاوَاكَ بِمَنْ نَاوَاكَ

May Allah curse those who equate your adversaries with you

وَاللَّهُ جَلَّ اسْمُهُ يَقُولُ

And Allah, exalted be His name, says:

هَلْ يَسْتَوِيْ الَّذِيْنَ يَعْلَمُوْنَ وَالَّذِيْنَ لَا يَعْلَمُون

"Are those who know equal to those who do not know?"

فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ عَدَلَ بِكَ مَنْ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وِلايَتَكَ

May Allah curse those who equate with you those whom Allah has obligated to follow your guardianship

وَأَنْتَ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ

For you are the guardian of Allah

وَأَخُوْ رَسُولِهِ

And the brother of His Messenger

وَالذَّابُّ عَنْ دِينِهِ

And the defender of His religion

وَالَّذِيْ نَطَقَ الْقُرْآنُ بِتَفْضِيلِهِ

And the one about whose excellence the Quran speaks

قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ

Allah the Exalted said:

وَفَضَّلَ اللَّهُ الْمُجَاهِدِيْنَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِيْنَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا

"Allah has preferred the strivers with their wealth and their lives over those who sit back, by a great reward

دَرَجَاتٍ مِنْهُ وَمَغْفِرَةً وَرَحْمَةً

Degrees from Him and forgiveness and mercy

وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا

And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful"

وَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ

And Allah the Exalted said:

أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الْحَاجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ

"Do you consider providing water to pilgrims and maintaining the Sacred Mosque

كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَجَاهَدَ فِيْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

Equal to one who believes in Allah and the Last Day and strives in the way of Allah?

لَا يَسْتَوُونَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ

They are not equal in the sight of Allah

وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِيْ الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِيْنَ

And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people

اَلَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوْا وَهَاجَرُوْا

Those who have believed and emigrated

وَجَاهَدُوْا فِيْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ

And strived in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives

أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ

Are greater in rank in the sight of Allah

وَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ

And it is those who are the attainers

يُبَشِّرُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنْهُ وَرِضْوَانٍ

Their Lord gives them good tidings of mercy from Him and approval

وَجَنَّاتٍ لَهُمْ فِيهَا نَعِيمٌ مُقِيمٌ

And of gardens for them wherein is enduring pleasure

خَالِدِيْنَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا

Abiding therein forever

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ

Indeed, Allah has with Him a great reward"

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ الْمَخْصُوصُ بِمِدْحَةِ اللَّهِ

I bear witness that you are the one specially praised by Allah

اَلْمُخْلِصُ لِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ

The one sincere in obedience to Allah

لَمْ تَبْغِ بِالْهُدَىٰ بَدَلًا

You never sought a substitute for guidance

وَلَمْ تُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّكَ أَحَدًا

And never associated anyone in the worship of your Lord

وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى اِسْتَجَابَ لِنَبِيِّهِ

And that Allah the Exalted answered His Prophet

صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فِيكَ دَعْوَتَهُ

May Allah bless him and his family, regarding his supplication for you

ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ بِإِظْهَارِ مَا أَوْلاَكَ لْأُمَّتِهِ

Then He commanded him to make known to his community what He had bestowed upon you

إِعْلاَءً لِشَأْنِكَ

To elevate your status

وَإِعْلاَنًا لِبُرْهَانِكَ

And to declare your proof

وَدَحْضًا لِلْأَبَاطِيْلِ

And to refute falsehoods

وَقَطْعًا لِلْمَعَاذِيْرِ

And to cut off excuses

فَلَمَّا أَشْفَقَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْفَاسِقِينَ

But when he feared the trial of the corrupt

وَاتَّقَىٰ فِيكَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ

And was cautious regarding you because of the hypocrites

أَوْحَىٰ إِلَيْهِ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ

The Lord of the Worlds revealed to him:

يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ

"O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord

وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ

And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message

وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ

And Allah will protect you from the people"

فَوَضَعَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَوْزَارَ الْمَسِيرِ

So he took upon himself the burden of the journey

وَنَهَضَ فِيْ رَمْضَاءِ الْهَجِيرِ

And arose in the scorching heat of midday

فَخَطَبَ وَأَسْمَعَ

He delivered a sermon and made all hear

وَنَادَىٰ فَأَبْلَغَ

And called out and proclaimed

ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُمْ أَجْمَعَ

Then he asked them all together

فَقَالَ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ

And said: "Have I conveyed?"

فَقَالُوْا اَللَّهُمَّ بَلَىٰ

They said: "O Allah, yes"

فَقَالَ اَللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ

He said: "O Allah, bear witness"

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ

Then he said: "Am I not more worthy of the believers than their own selves?"

فَقَالُوْا بَلَىٰ

They said: "Yes"

فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِكَ وَقَالَ

Then he took your hand and said:

مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاَهُ فَهٰذَا عَلِيٌّ مَوْلاَهُ

"Whoever I am his master, this Ali is his master

اَللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ

O Allah, befriend whoever befriends him

وَعَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ

And be an enemy to whoever is hostile to him

وَانْصُرْ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ

And support whoever supports him

وَاخْذُلْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُ

And forsake whoever forsakes him"

فَمَا آمَنَ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ

But only a few believed in what Allah revealed concerning you through His Prophet

وَلَا زَادَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ غَيْرَ تَخْيِيرٍ

And it only increased most of them in arrogance

وَلَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِيكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَهُمْ كَارِهُونَ

And Allah the Exalted had previously revealed concerning you, while they were averse:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوْا

"O you who have believed

مَنْ يَرْتَدَّ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ دِينِهِ

Whoever of you should renounce his religion

فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِيْ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ

Allah will bring forth a people He will love and who will love Him

أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

Humble toward the believers

أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ

Powerful against the disbelievers

يُجَاهِدُوْنَ فِيْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

They strive in the cause of Allah

وَلَا يَخَافُونَ لَوْمَةَ لاَئِمٍ

And do not fear the blame of a critic

ذٰلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ

That is the favor of Allah; He bestows it upon whom He wills

وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing

إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوْا

Your guardian is none but Allah and His Messenger and those who have believed

اَلَّذِيْنَ يُقِيمُوْنَ الصَّلاَةَ

Who establish prayer

وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ

And give zakah while they bow in prayer

وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوْا

And whoever takes Allah and His Messenger and those who have believed as allies

فَإِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ

Indeed, the party of Allah - they will be the predominant"

رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا بِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ وَاتَّبَعْنَا الرَّسُولَ

Our Lord, we have believed in what You revealed and we follow the Messenger

فَاكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِيْنَ

So register us among the witnesses

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا

Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us

وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً

And grant us from Yourself mercy

إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ

Indeed, You are the Bestower

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هٰذَا هُوَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ

O Allah, we know that this is the truth from You

فَالْعَنْ مَنْ عَارَضَهُ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ

So curse whoever opposed it and was arrogant

وَكَذَّبَ بِهِ وَكَفَرَ

And denied it and disbelieved in it

وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ

And those who have wronged will come to know to what return they will return

اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

Peace be upon you, O Commander of the Faithful

وَسَيِّدَ الْوَصِيِّينَ

And Master of the Successors

وَأَوَّلَ الْعَابِدِيْنَ

And the First of the Worshippers

وَأَزْهَدَ الزَّاهِدِيْنَ

And the Most Ascetic of the Ascetics

وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

And may Allah's mercy and blessings be upon you

وَصَلَوَاتُهُ وَتَحِيَّاتُهُ

And His prayers and greetings

أَنْتَ مُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامِ عَلَى حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا

You are the one who fed food out of love for Him to the needy, the orphan, and the captive

لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا تُرِيدُ مِنْهُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا

For the Face of Allah, not desiring from them any reward or gratitude

وَفِيكَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ

And concerning you Allah the Exalted revealed:

وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ

"And they give others preference over themselves, even though they are in need

وَمَنْ يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِ فَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful"

وَأَنْتَ الْكَاظِمُ لِلْغَيْظِ

And you are the one who suppresses anger

وَالْعَاْفِيْ عَنِ النَّاسِ

And pardons people

وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ

And Allah loves the doers of good

وَأَنْتَ الصَّابِرُ فِيْ الْبَأْسَاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ وَحِيْنَ الْبَأْسِ

And you are the patient one in adversity, hardship, and in battle

وَأَنْتَ الْقَاسِمُ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ

And you are the one who divides equally

وَالْعَادِلُ فِيْ الرَّعِيَّةِ

And the just one among the subjects

وَالْعَالِمُ بِحُدُودِ اللَّهِ مِنْ جَمِيْعِ الْبَرِيَّةِ

And the most knowledgeable about Allah's limits among all creation

وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَخْبَرَ عَمَّا أَوْلاَكَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ بِقَوْلِهِ

And Allah the Exalted has informed about what He bestowed upon you of His favor by His saying:

أَفَمَنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا كَمَنْ كَانَ فَاسِقًا

"Is one who is a believer like one who is defiantly disobedient?

لَا يَسْتَوُونَ

They are not equal

أَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوْا الصَّالِحَاتِ

As for those who believed and did righteous deeds

فَلَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ الْمَأْوَى نُزُلًا بِمَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُونَ

For them are the Gardens of Refuge as accommodation for what they used to do"

وَأَنْتَ الْمَخْصُوصُ بِعِلْمِ التَّنْزِيلِ

And you are the one specially endowed with knowledge of the revelation

وَحُكْمِ التَّأْوِيلِ

And the judgment of interpretation

وَنَصِّ الرَّسُولِ

And the explicit declaration of the Messenger

وَلَكَ الْمَوَاقِفُ الْمَشْهُودَةُ

And yours are the witnessed positions

وَالْمَقَامَاتُ الْمَشْهُورَةُ

And the famous stations

وَالْاَيَّامُ الْمَذْكُورَةُ

And the days remembered

يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَيَوْمَ الْاَحْزَابِ

The day of Badr and the day of the Confederates

إِذْ زَاغَتِ الْاَبْصَارُ وَبَلَغَتِ الْقُلُوبُ الْحَنَاجِرَ

When eyes shifted and hearts reached the throats

وَتَظُنّونَ بِاللَّهِ الظّنُونَا

And you thought of Allah assumption [of the worst]

هُنَالِكَ ابْتُلِيَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَزُلْزِلُوْا زِلْزَالًا شَدِيدًا

There the believers were tested and severely shaken

وَإِذْ يَقُولُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالَّذِيْنَ فِيْ قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ

And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was disease said:

مَا وَعَدَنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا

"Allah and His Messenger promised us nothing but delusion"

وَإِذْ قَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ

And when a faction of them said:

يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمْ فَارْجِعُوْا

"O people of Yathrib, there is no place for you [here], so return"

وَيَسْتَأْذِنُ فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمُ النَّبِيَّ

And a party of them asked permission of the Prophet

يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ بُيُوتَنَا عَوْرَةٌ

Saying, "Indeed, our houses are exposed"

وَمَا هِيَ بِعَوْرَةٍ إِنْ يُرِيدُوْنَ إِلَّا فِرَارًا

While they were not exposed. They only wished to flee

وَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ

And Allah the Exalted said:

وَلَمَّا رَأَىٰ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْاَحْزَابَ قَالُوْا

"And when the believers saw the confederates, they said:

هٰذَا مَا وَعَدَنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

'This is what Allah and His Messenger promised us

وَصَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

And Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth'

وَمَا زَادَهُمْ إِلَّا إِيـمَانًا وَتَسْلِيْمًا

And it increased them only in faith and submission"

فَقَتَلْتَ عَمْرَهُمْ

So you killed their champion

وَهَزَمْتَ جَمْعَهُمْ

And defeated their assembly

وَرَدَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِغَيْظِهِمْ

And Allah repelled those who disbelieved, in their rage

لَمْ يَنَالُوْا خَيْرًا

Not having obtained any good

وَكَفَىٰ اللَّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ الْقِتَالَ

And Allah spared the believers of fighting

وَكَانَ اللَّهُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيزًا

And Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might

وَيَوْمَ أُحُدٍ إِذْ يُصْعِدُوْنَ وَلَا يَلْوُونَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ

And the day of Uhud, when they were climbing and not looking at anyone

وَالرَّسُولُ يَدْعُوهُمْ فِيْ أُخْرَاهُمْ

While the Messenger was calling them from behind

وَأَنْتَ تَذُودُ بِهِمُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ

And you were driving away the polytheists from the Prophet

ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ

To the right and to the left

حَتَّىٰ رَدَّهُمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْكُمَا خَائِفِينَ

Until Allah the Exalted repelled them from you both in fear

وَنَصَرَ بِكَ الْخَاذِلِينَ

And through you He supported those who had abandoned [the battle]

وَيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ عَلَى مَا نَطَقَ بِهِ التَّنْزِيلُ

And the day of Hunayn, as spoken of in the revelation:

إِذْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ عَنْكُمْ شَيْئًا

When your great numbers impressed you, but they did not avail you at all

وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْاَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ

And the earth was constricted for you despite its vastness

ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُمْ مُدْبِرِينَ

Then you turned back, retreating

ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَعَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

Then Allah sent down His tranquility upon His Messenger and upon the believers

وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ أَنْتَ وَمَنْ يَلِيكَ

And the believers were you and those with you

وَعَمُّكَ الْعَبَّاسُ يُنَادِيْ الْمُنْهَزِمِيْنَ

And your uncle al-Abbas was calling to those who had fled:

يَا أَصْحَابَ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ

"O companions of Surah al-Baqarah

يَا أَهْلَ بَيْعَةِ الشَّجَرَةِ

O people of the Pledge of the Tree"

حَتَّىٰ اسْتَجَابَ لَهُ قَوْمٌ قَدْ كَفَيْتَهُمُ الْمَؤُونَةَ

Until a group responded to him, whom you had relieved of the burden

وَتَكَفَّلْتَ دُونَهُمُ الْمَعُونَةَ

And undertook their assistance instead of them

فَعَادُوْا آيِسِينَ مِنَ الْمَثُوبَةِ

So they returned having despaired of reward

رَاجِينَ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بِالتَّوْبَةِ

Hoping for Allah the Exalted's promise of repentance

وَذٰلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ

And that is the saying of Allah, exalted be His remembrance:

ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ

"Then Allah will accept repentance after that for whom He wills"

وَأَنْتَ حَائِزٌ دَرَجَةَ الصَّبْرِ

And you attained the degree of patience

فَائِزٌ بِعَظِيمِ الْاَجْرِ

And won the great reward

وَيَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ إِذْ أَظْهَرَ اللَّهُ خَوَرَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ

And on the day of Khaybar, when Allah exposed the cowardice of the hypocrites

وَقَطَعَ دَابِرَ الْكَافِرِينَ

And cut off the root of the disbelievers

وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ

And praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds

وَلَقَدْ كَانُوْا عَاهَدُوْا اللَّهَ مِنْ قَبْلُ لَا يُوَلُّونَ الْاَدْبَارَ

And they had already promised Allah before not to turn their backs in retreat

وَكَانَ عَهْدُ اللَّهِ مَسْؤُولًا

And the promise of Allah will be questioned about

مَوْلَايَ أَنْتَ الْحُجَّةُ الْبَالِغَةُ

My master, you are the conclusive proof

وَالْمَحَجَّةُ الْوَاضِحَةُ

And the clear path

وَالنِّعْمَةُ السَّابِغَةُ

And the abundant blessing

وَالْبُرْهَانُ الْمُنِيرُ

And the illuminating evidence

فَهَنِيئًا لَكَ بِمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلٍ

So congratulations to you for what Allah has given you of His bounty

وَتَبًّا لِشَانِئِكَ ذِيْ الْجَهْلِ

And ruin to your hater full of ignorance

شَهِدْتَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ

You witnessed with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family

جَمِيعَ حُرُوبِهِ وَمَغَازِيهِ

All his wars and battles

تَحْمِلُ الرَّايَةَ أَمَامَهُ

Carrying the banner before him

وَتَضْرِبُ بِالسَّيْفِ قُدَّامَهُ

And striking with the sword in front of him

ثُمَّ لِحَزْمِكَ الْمَشْهُورِ

Then due to your well-known resolve

وَبَصِيْرَتِكَ فِيْ الْأُمُورِ

And your insight in affairs

أَمَّرَكَ فِيْ الْمَوَاطِنِ

He made you a commander in various situations

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْكَ أَمِيرٌ

And no one was ever made commander over you

وَكَمْ مِنْ أَمْرٍ صَدَّكَ عَنْ إِمْضَاءِ عَزْمِكَ فِيْهِ التُّقَىٰ

And how many times did piety prevent you from carrying out your resolve in a matter

وَاتَّبَعَ غَيْرُكَ فِيْ مِثْلِهِ الْهَوَىٰ

While others in similar situations followed their desires

فَظَنَّ الْجَاهِلُونَ أَنَّكَ عَجَزْتَ عَمَّا إِلَيْهِ انْتَهَىٰ

So the ignorant thought that you were unable to do what they did

ضَلَّ وَاللَّهِ الظَّانُّ لِذٰلِكَ وَمَا اهْتَدَىٰ

By Allah, such a thinker has gone astray and is not guided

وَلَقَدْ أَوْضَحْتَ مَا أَشْكَلَ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ تَوَهَّمَ وَامْتَرَىٰ

And you have made clear what was confusing about that to whoever was suspicious or doubted

بِقَوْلِكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ

By your saying, may Allah's blessings be upon you:

قَدْ يَرَىٰ الْحُوَّلُ الْقُلَّبُ وَجْهَ الْحِيْلَةِ

"Many a shrewd, quick-witted person sees the way of trickery

وَدُونَهَا حَاجِزٌ مِنْ تَقْوَىٰ اللَّهِ

But there is a barrier of God-consciousness before it

فَيَدَعُهَا رَأْيَ الْعَيْنِ

So he abandons it knowingly

وَيَنْتَهِزُ فُرْصَتَهَا مَنْ لَا حَرِيجَةَ لَهُ فِيْ الدِّينِ

While one who has no religious restraint seizes its opportunity"

صَدَقْتَ وَاللَّهِ وَخَسِرَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ

You spoke the truth, by Allah, and the falsifiers are losers

وَإِذْ مَاكَرَكَ النَّاكِثَانِ

And when the two covenant-breakers plotted against you

فَقَالَا نُرِيدُ الْعُمْرَةَ

And said: "We want to perform Umrah"

فَقُلْتَ لَهُمَا لَعَمْرُكُمَا مَا تُرِيدَانِ الْعُمْرَةَ

You said to them: "By your lives, you do not want Umrah

لٰكِنْ تُرِيدَانِ الْغَدْرَةَ

But you want treachery"

فَأَخَذْتَ الْبَيْعَةَ عَلَيْهِمَا

So you took their pledge of allegiance

وَجَدَّدْتَ الْمِيثَاقَ

And renewed the covenant

فَجَدَّا فِيْ النِّفَاقِ

But they persisted in hypocrisy

فَلَمَّا نَبَّهْتَهُمَا عَلَى فِعْلِهِمَا أَغْفَلَا وَعَادَا وَمَا انْتَفَعَا

And when you made them aware of their actions, they ignored and returned and did not benefit

وَكَانَ عَاقِبَةُ أَمْرِهِمَا خُسْرًا

And the end of their affair was loss

ثُمَّ تَلاَهُمَا أَهْلُ الشَّامِ

Then the people of Syria followed them

فَسِرْتَ إِلَيْهِمْ بَعْدَ الْاِعْذَارِ

So you marched against them after offering them excuses

وَهُمْ لَا يَدِينُونَ دِيْنَ الْحَقِّ

While they did not follow the religion of truth

وَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ

And did not ponder the Quran

هَمَجٌ رُعَاعٌ ضَالُّونَ

A reckless rabble gone astray

وَبِالَّذِيْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ فِيكَ كَافِرُونَ

Disbelieving in what was revealed to Muhammad concerning you

وَلْأَهْلِ الْخِلاَفِ عَلَيْكَ نَاصِرُوْنَ

And supporting those who opposed you

وَقَدْ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِاتِّبَاعِكَ

While Allah has commanded to follow you

وَنَدَبَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ إِلَى نَصْرِكَ

And called upon the believers to support you

وَقَالَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

And said, Mighty and Majestic:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوْا

"O you who have believed

اِتَّقُوْا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوْا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ

Fear Allah and be with the truthful"

مَوْلَايَ بِكَ ظَهَرَ الْحَقُّ

My master, through you the truth became manifest

وَقَدْ نَبَذَهُ الْخَلْقُ

Though the people had rejected it

وَأَوْضَحْتَ السُّنَنَ بَعْدَ الدُّرُوسِ وَالطَّمْسِ

And you made clear the Sunnahs after they had been obliterated and obscured

فَلَكَ سَابِقَةُ الْجِهَادِ عَلَى تَصْدِيقِ التَّنْزِيلِ

For you have the precedence of striving to confirm the revelation

وَلَكَ فَضِيلَةُ الْجِهَادِ عَلَى تَحْقِيقِ التَّأْوِيلِ

And you have the excellence of striving to verify the interpretation

وَعَدُوُّكَ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ جَاحِدٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ

And your enemy is the enemy of Allah, denying the Messenger of Allah

يَدْعُوْ بَاطِلًا وَيَحْكُمُ جَائِرًا

Calling to falsehood and ruling unjustly

وَيَتَأَمَّرُ غَاصِبًا وَيَدْعُوْ حِزْبَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ

Usurping authority and calling his party to the Fire

وَعَمَّارٌ يُجَاهِدُ وَيُنَادِيْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَّيْنِ

While Ammar was fighting and calling out between the two armies:

اَلرَّوَاحَ الرَّوَاحَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ

"Paradise! Paradise! To Paradise!"

وَلَمَّا اسْتَسْقَىٰ فَسُقِيَ اللَّبَنَ كَبَّرَ وَقَالَ

And when he asked for a drink and was given milk, he said Allahu Akbar and said:

قَالَ لِيْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ

"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family, said to me:

آخِرُ شَرَابِكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ضَيَاحٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ

'Your last drink in this world will be a mixture of milk

وَتَقْتُلُكَ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ

And you will be killed by the transgressing party'"

فَاعْتَرَضَهُ أَبُوْ الْعَادِيَةِ الْفَزَارِيُّ فَقَتَلَهُ

Then Abu al-Adiyah al-Fazari confronted him and killed him

فَعَلَى أَبِيْ الْعَادِيَةِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ

So upon Abu al-Adiyah be the curse of Allah

وَلَعْنَةُ مَلَاَئِكَتِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ

And the curse of His angels and all His messengers

وَعَلَى مَنْ سَلَّ سَيْفَهُ عَلَيْكَ

And upon those who drew their swords against you

وَسَلَلْتَ سَيْفَكَ عَلَيْهِ

And against whom you drew your sword

يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

O Commander of the Faithful

مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

From among the polytheists and hypocrites until the Day of Judgment

وَعَلَى مَنْ رَضِيَ بِمَا سَاءَكَ

And upon those who were pleased with what grieved you

وَلَمْ يَكْرَهْهُ وَأَغْمَضَ عَيْنَهُ وَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ

And did not detest it, and closed their eyes and did not object

أَوْ أَعَانَ عَلَيْكَ بِيَدٍ أَوْ لِسَانٍ

Or helped against you with hand or tongue

أَوْ قَعَدَ عَنْ نَصْرِكَ

Or held back from supporting you

أَوْ خَذَلَ عَنِ الْجِهَادِ مَعَكَ

Or abandoned the struggle alongside you

أَوْ غَمَطَ فَضْلَكَ

Or belittled your excellence

وَجَحَدَ حَقَّكَ

And denied your right

أَوْ عَدَلَ بِكَ مَنْ جَعَلَكَ اللَّهُ أَوْلَى بِهِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ

Or equated with you those whom Allah made you worthier of than themselves

وَصَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

And may Allah's blessings be upon you and His mercy and His blessings

وَسَلامُهُ وَتَحِيَّاتُهُ

And His peace and His greetings

وَعَلَى الْاَئِمَّةِ مِنْ آلِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ

And upon the Imams from your purified family

إِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

Indeed, He is Praiseworthy and Glorious

وَالْاَمْرُ الْاَعْجَبُ

And the most astonishing matter

وَالْخَطْبُ الْاَفْظَعُ بَعْدَ جَحْدِكَ حَقَّكَ

And the most terrible calamity after denying your right

غَصْبُ الصِّدِّيقَةِ الطَّاهِرَةِ الزَّهْرَاءِ سَيِّدَةِ النِّسَاءِ فَدَكًا

Was the usurpation from the truthful, purified Fatima, the lady of women, of Fadak

وَرَدُّ شَهَادَتِكَ وَشَهَادَةِ السَّيِّدَيْنِ سُلالَتِكَ

And the rejection of your testimony and the testimony of the two masters, your descendants

وَعِتْرَةِ الْمُصْطَفَىٰ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ

The progeny of the Chosen One, may Allah's blessings be upon you all

وَقَدْ أَعْلَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى الْأُمَّةِ دَرَجَتَكُمْ

While Allah the Exalted had elevated your rank above the community

وَرَفَعَ مَنْزِلَتَكُمْ

And raised your position

وَأَبَانَ فَضْلَكُمْ وَشَرَفَكُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِيْنَ

And made clear your excellence and nobility above the worlds

فَأَذْهَبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَطَهَّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيْرًا

So He removed from you impurity and purified you with a thorough purification

قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:

إِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا

"Indeed, mankind was created anxious

إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا

When evil touches him, impatient

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا

And when good touches him, withholding

إِلَّا المُصَلِّينَ

Except the praying ones"

فَاسْتَثْنَىٰ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى نَبِيَّهُ الْمُصْطَفَىٰ

So Allah the Exalted made an exception for His chosen Prophet

وَأَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدَ الْاَوْصِيَاءِ مِنْ جَمِيْعِ الْخَلْقِ

And you, O Master of Successors, from all creation

فَمَا أَعْمَهَ مَنْ ظَلَمَكَ عَنِ الْحَقِّ

How blind was the one who wronged you from the truth

ثُمَّ أَفْرَضُوكَ سَهْمَ ذَوِيْ الْقُرْبَىٰ مَكْرًا

Then they rejected your share of the close relatives out of deceit

وَأَحَادُوهُ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ جَوْرًا

And diverted it from its rightful recipients unjustly

فَلَمَّا آلَ الْاَمْرُ إِلَيْكَ أَجْرَيْتَهُمْ عَلَى مَا أَجْرَيَا

But when the authority came to you, you conducted it as they had conducted it

رَغْبَةً عَنْهُمَا بِمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَكَ

Turning away from their practices, desiring what Allah has for you

فَأَشْبَهَتْ مِحْنَتُكَ بِهِمَا مِحَنَ الْاَنْبِيَاءِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ

So your trials with them resembled the trials of the Prophets, peace be upon them

عِنْدَ الْوَحْدَةِ وَعَدَمِ الْاَنْصَارِ

In their isolation and lack of supporters

وَأَشْبَهْتَ فِيْ الْبَيَاتِ عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ الذَّبِيحَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ

And in your sleeping on the bed [of the Prophet], you resembled the sacrifice [Ismail], peace be upon him

إِذْ أَجَبْتَ كَمَا أَجَابَ

When you responded as he responded

وَأَطَعْتَ كَمَا أَطَاعَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا

And obeyed as Ismail obeyed, patient and seeking reward

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّيْ أَرَىٰ فِيْ الْمَنَامِ أَنِّيْ أَذْبَحُكَ

When he said to him: "O my son, I have seen in a dream that I am sacrificing you

فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ

So consider what you think"

قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ

He said: "O my father, do what you are commanded

سَتَجِدُنِيْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ

You will find me, if Allah wills, of the patient"

وَكَذٰلِكَ أَنْتَ لَمَّا أَبَاتَكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ

And likewise you, when the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family, had you sleep in his bed

وَأَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَضْجَعَ فِيْ مَرْقَدِهِ

And commanded you to lie in his place

وَاقِيًا لَهُ بِنَفْسِكَ

Protecting him with your life

أَسْرَعْتَ إِلَى إِجَابَتِهِ مُطِيعًا

You hastened to obey him

وَلِنَفْسِكَ عَلَى الْقَتْلِ مُوَطِّنًا

Preparing yourself for death

فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى طَاعَتَكَ

So Allah the Exalted thanked you for your obedience

وَأَبَانَ عَنْ جَمِيلِ فِعْلِكَ بِقَوْلِهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ

And revealed the beauty of your deed in His saying, exalted be His remembrance:

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْرِيْ نَفْسَهُ ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاةِ اللَّهِ

"And among the people is he who sells himself seeking the pleasure of Allah"

ثُمَّ مِحْنَتُكَ يَوْمَ صِفِّينَ

Then your trial on the day of Siffin

وَقَدْ رُفِعَتِ الْمَصَاحِفُ حِيْلَةً وَمَكْرًا

When the Qurans were raised as a trick and deception

فَأَعْرَضَ الشَّكُّ

So doubt appeared

وَعُزِفَ الْحَقُّ

And truth was abandoned

وَاتُّبِعَ الظَّنُّ

And conjecture was followed

أَشْبَهَتْ مِحْنَةَ هَارُونَ إِذْ أَمَّرَهُ مُوْسَى عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فَتَفَرَّقُوْا عَنْهُ

Resembled the trial of Aaron when Moses appointed him over his people, but they dispersed from him

وَهَارُونُ يُنَادِيْ بِهِمْ وَيَقُولُ

And Aaron called to them and said:

يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنْتُمْ بِهِ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ الرَّحْمٰنُ

"O my people, you are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Merciful

فَاتَّبِعُونِيْ وَأَطِيعُوْا أَمْرِي

So follow me and obey my command"

قَالُوْاْ لَنْ نَبْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفِينَ حَتَّىٰ يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوْسَى

They said: "We will not cease being devoted to it until Moses returns to us"

وَكَذٰلِكَ أَنْتَ لَمَّا رُفِعَتِ الْمَصَاحِفُ قُلْتَ

And likewise you, when the Qurans were raised, you said:

يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنْتُمْ بِهَا وَخُدِعْتُمْ

"O people, you are only being tested by them and deceived"

فَعَصَوْكَ وَخَالَفُوْا عَلَيْكَ

But they disobeyed you and opposed you

وَاسْتَدْعُوْا نَصْبَ الْحَكَمَيْنِ

And demanded the appointment of two arbitrators

فَأَبَيْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَتَبَرَّأْتَ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ فِعْلِهِمْ وَفَوَّضْتَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ

So you refused them and disassociated yourself to Allah from their actions and delegated it to them

فَلَمَّا أَسْفَرَ الْحَقُّ

And when the truth became clear

وَسَفِهَ الْمُنْكَرُ

And the wrong was exposed

وَاعْتَرَفُوْا بِالزَّلَلِ وَالْجَوْرِ عَنِ الْقَصْدِ

And they acknowledged their error and deviation from the right path

اِخْتَلَفُوْا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ

They differed afterwards

وَأَلْزَمُوكَ عَلَى سَفَهِ التَّحْكِيمِ الَّذِيْ أَبَيْتَهُ وَأَحَبُّوهُ

And held you to the foolish arbitration which you had refused but they desired

وَحَظَرْتَهُ وَأَبَاحُوْا ذَنْبَهُمُ الَّذِيْ اقْتَرَفُوهُ

They justified their sin which they had committed

وَأَنْتَ عَلَى نَهْجِ بَصِيرَةٍ وَهُدىٰ

While you were on a path of insight and guidance

وَهُمْ عَلَى سُنَنِ ضَلالَةٍ وَعَمىٰ

And they were on paths of misguidance and blindness

فَمَا زَالُوْا عَلَى النِّفَاقِ مُصِرِّينَ

They persisted in hypocrisy

وَفِيْ الْغَيِّ مُتَرَدِّدِيْنَ

And in error they wavered

حَتَّىٰ أَذَاقَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِمْ

Until Allah made them taste the evil consequence of their affair

فَأَمَاتَ بِسَيْفِكَ مَنْ عَانَدَكَ فَشَقِيَ وَهَوَىٰ

So He killed by your sword whoever opposed you, thus was wretched and fell

وَأَحْيَا بِحُجَّتِكَ مَنْ سَعَدَ فَهُدِيَ

And brought to life through your proof whoever was fortunate, and thus was guided

صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ غَادِيَةً وَرَائِحَةً

May Allah's blessings be upon you, coming and going

وَعَاكِفَةً وَذَاهِبَةً

And remaining and departing

فَمَا يُحِيطُ الْمَادِحُ وَصْفَكَ

For no praiser can encompass your description

وَلَا يُحْبِطُ الطَّاعِنُ فَضْلَكَ

Nor can any critic diminish your excellence

أَنْتَ أَحْسَنُ الْخَلْقِ عِبَادَةً

You are the most excellent of creation in worship

وَأَخْلَصُهُمْ زَهَادَةً

And the most sincere of them in asceticism

وَأَذَبُّهُمْ عَنِ الدِّينِ

And the most defensive of them for the religion

أَقَمْتَ حُدُودَ اللَّهِ بِجُهْدِكَ

You established the limits of Allah with your utmost effort

وَفَلَلْتَ عَسَاكِرَ الْمَارِقِينَ بِسَيْفِكَ

And broke the armies of the deviators with your sword

تُخْمِدُ لَهَبَ الْحُرُوبِ بِبَنَانِكَ

You extinguished the flames of wars with your fingertips

وَتَهْتِكُ سُتُورَ الشُّبَهِ بِبَيَانِكَ

And tore the veils of doubts with your eloquence

وَتَكْشِفُ لَبْسَ الْبَاطِلِ عَنْ صَرِيحِ الْحَقِّ

And removed the confusion of falsehood from pure truth

لَا تَأْخُذُكَ فِيْ اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لاَئِمٍ

The blame of any blamer did not deter you in the cause of Allah

وَفِيْ مَدْحِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى لَكَ غِنَىٰ

And in Allah the Exalted's praise of you is sufficiency

عَنْ مَدْحِ الْمَادِحِيْنَ وَتَقْرِيظِ الْوَاصِفِينَ

From the praise of praisers and the commendation of describers

قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ

Allah the Exalted said:

مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوْا مَا عَاهَدُوْا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ

"Among the believers are men who have been true to what they promised Allah

فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَىٰ نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوْا تَبْدِيلًا

Among them is he who has fulfilled his vow, and among them is he who awaits, and they did not alter in the least"

وَلَمَّا رَأَيْتَ أَنْ قَتَلْتَ النَّاكِثِينَ وَالْقَاسِطِينَ وَالْمَارِقِينَ

And when you saw that you had killed the oath-breakers, the unjust, and the deviators

وَصَدَقَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَعْدَهُ

And the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family, had fulfilled his promise to you

فَأَوْفَيْتَ بِعَهْدِهِ قُلْتَ

And you fulfilled his covenant, you said:

أَمَا آنَ أَنْ تُخْضَبَ هٰذِهِ مِنْ هٰذِهِ

"Is it not time for this [beard] to be dyed from this [head]?

أَمْ مَتَىٰ يُبْعَثُ أَشْقَاهَا

Or when will its most wretched one be sent forth?"

وَاثِقًا بِأَنَّكَ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكَ

Confident that you were upon clear evidence from your Lord

وَبَصِيرَةٍ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ

And insight in your affair

قَادِمٌ عَلَى اللَّهِ

Coming to Allah

مُسْتَبْشِرٌ بِبَيْعِكَ الَّذِيْ بَايَعْتَهُ بِهِ

Rejoicing in your transaction that you made with Him

وَذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ

And that is the great attainment

اَللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ قَتَلَةَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَأَوْصِيَاءِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ

O Allah, curse the killers of Your Prophets and the successors of Your Prophets

بِجَمِيْعِ لَعَنَاتِكَ

With all Your curses

وَأَصْلِهِمْ حَرَّ نَارِكَ

And make them feel the heat of Your Fire

وَالْعَنْ مَنْ غَصَبَ وَلِيَّكَ حَقَّهُ

And curse those who usurped Your guardian's right

وَأَنْكَرَ عَهْدَهُ

And denied his covenant

وَجَحَدَهُ بَعْدَ الْيَقِينِ وَالْاِقْرَارِ بِالْوِلَايَةِ لَهُ

And rejected him after certainty and acknowledgment of his guardianship

يَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتَ لَهُ الدِّينَ

On the day You perfected for him the religion

اَللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ قَتَلَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

O Allah, curse the killers of the Commander of the Faithful

وَمَنْ ظَلَمَهُ وَأَشْيَاعَهُمْ وَأَنْصَارَهُمْ

And those who wronged him and their followers and supporters

اَللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ ظَالِمِيْ الْحُسَيْنِ وَقَاتِلِيهِ

O Allah, curse the oppressors of Husayn and his killers

وَالْمُتَابِعِينَ عَدُوَّهُ وَنَاصِرِيهِ

And those who followed his enemy and his supporters

وَالرَّاضِينَ بِقَتْلِهِ وَخَاذِلِيهِ لَعْنًا وَبِيلًا

And those who were pleased with his killing and those who abandoned him, with a severe curse

اَللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ أَوَّلَ ظَالِمٍ ظَلَمَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ

O Allah, curse the first oppressor who wronged the family of Muhammad

وَمَانِعِيهِمْ حُقُوقَهُمْ

And those who prevented them their rights

اَللَّهُمَّ خُصَّ أَوَّلَ ظَالِمٍ وَغَاصِبٍ لِأٓلِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِاللَّعْنِ

O Allah, specifically curse the first oppressor and usurper against the family of Muhammad with Your curse

وَكُلَّ مُسْتَنٍّ بِمَا سَنَّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

And everyone who followed his practices until the Day of Resurrection

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ

O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets

وَعَلَى عَلِيٍّ سَيِّدِ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ

And upon Ali, the Master of Successors, and his purified family

وَاجْعَلْنَا بِهِمْ مُتَمَسِّكِينَ

And make us among those who hold fast to them

وَبِوِلَايَتِهِمْ مِنَ الْفَائِزِينَ الْآمِنِيْنَ

And through their guardianship among the successful and secure

اَلَّذِيْنَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Those upon whom there is no fear, nor do they grieve
