4 الر ح ي م الر ح ن الل ه ب س م و ل ت ك ب د ع ي ا ل ع ل ك ت ف ل ح ت س ك ب ب ل الل و ات ب ع اهل د ى And do not be an innovator, so that you might be successful. (1) Hold tightly to the rope of Allaah and the guidance, أ ت ت ع ن ر س و ل الل ت ن ج و و ت ر ب ح و د ن ب ك ت ا ب الل و الس ن ن ال ت have come from the Messenger of Allaah so you will be saved and earn reward. (2) And practice your religion based on the Book of Allaah and the Sunan which و ق ل : غ ي ر م ل و ق ك ال م م ل ي ك ن ا ب ذ ل ك د ا ن األ ت ق ي اء و أ ف ص ح وا Such was the religious position of the pious ones (before us) who spoke well. (3) And say: Not a created thing is the Speech of our great King, و ل ت ك ف الق ر آ ن ب الو ق ف ق ائ ال ك م ا ق ا ل أ ت ب اع ل ه م و أ س ج ح وا As did the followers of Jahm, and they had been too lax (to take the right position). (4) And do not be a person who takes no position on the Quran, ف إ ن ك ال م الل ب الل ف ظ ي و ض ح و ل ت ق ل: الق ر آن خ ل ق ق ر أ ته Since the Speech of Allaah, through its recitation, is made clear. (5) And do not say that the Quran is created, meaning: its recitation, و ق ل : ي ت ج ل ى الل ل ل خ ل ق ج ه ر ة ك م ا الب د ر ل ي ف ى و ر ب ك أ و ض ح Just as the full moon is not hard to see, and your Lord (will be seen) more clearly. (6) And say: Allaah will make himself visible to all the creation, openly, و ل ي س ل ه ش ب ه ت ع ا ل املس ب ح و ل ي س ب و ال د و ل ي س ب و ل و د Nor is there anything similar to Him, exalted be the Glorified One. (7) And He was not born, nor has He fathered anyone, 3

5 و ق د ي ن ك ر ا ل ه م ي ه ذ ا و ع ن د ن ا ب ص د اق م ا ق ل ن ا ح د ي ث م ص ر ح As a testimony to the truth of what we say a hadeeth that clarifies it. (8) A Jahmee rejects this, however, we have م ث ل م ا ق د ق ا ل ف ذ ا ك ت ن ج ح ف ق ل ر و اه ج ر ي ر ع ن م ق ا ل م م د So say what he said about that, and you will be successful. (9) Jareer narrated it, from the words of Muhammad, و ك ل ت ا ي د ي ه ب الف و اض ل ت ن ف ح و ق د ي ن ك ر ا ل ه م ي أ ي ضا ي ي ن ه While both of His Hands are giving out all kinds of bounties. (10) And perhaps a Jahmee might deny His Right Hand as well, و ق ل : ي ن ز ل ا ل ب ار ف ك ل ل ي ل ة ب ال ك ي ف ج ل الو اح د املت م د ح Without asking for exact details, magnificent is the One God and most worthy of praise. (11) And say: The Ever-Compelling descends each night, ف ت ف ر ج أ ب و اب الس م ا ء و ت ف ت ح إ ل ط ب ق الد ن ي ا ي ن ب ف ض ل ه As the gates of the heavens are opened and spread widely. (12) Down to the lowest heaven, granting bounties from His Grace, و م س ت م ن ح خ ي ا و ر ز قا ف ي م ن ح ي ق و ل : أ ل م س ت غ ف ر ي ل ق غ اف را Or anyone seeking bounties of goodness and provisions, so he could be given (what he requests)? (13) He says: Is there anyone seeking forgiveness who would like to meet a Forgiver? ي ر د ح د ي ث ه م ل ق و م ذ ا ك ر و ى و ق ب ح وا ك ذ ب و ه م ق و م أ ل خ ا ب But sadly some have went wrong and did not believe them, marring themselves. (14) A group have reported this whose reports are not to be rejected, و ق ل : إ ن خ ي ر الن ا س ب ع د م م د و ز ي ر اه ق د ما ث ع ث م ان الر ج ح 4

6 Were his two deputies of old, and the Uthmaan, according to the most correct position. (15) And say: Indeed the best of the people after Muhammad ع ل ي ح ل ي ف اخل ي ب اخل ي م ن ج ح و ر اب عه م خ ي ر ال ب ي ة ب ع د ه م Alee, the companion of goodness, through goodness he was successful. (16) And the fourth of them was the best of creation after them, ع ل ى ن ب الف ر د و س ب الن و ر ت س ر ح و إ ن هم ل لر ه ط ل ر ي ب ف يه م Upon the great camels of Firdows, shining brightly and roaming about. (17) Those are the people, those who we have no doubt about, س ع ي د و س ع د و اب ن ع و ف و ط ل ح ة و ع ام ر ف ه ر و الز ب ي ر املم د ح Aamir of Fihr, and Zubayr the praiseworthy. (18) Sa eed, Sa d, Ibn Awf, Talhah, و ق ل خ ي ر ق و ل ف الص ح اب ة ك ل ه م و ل ت ك ط ع انا ت ع ي ب و ت ر ح And do not be one who speaks ill of them, pointing out their faults and criticizing, (19) And speak with the best terms about the Companions, all of them, ف ق د ن ط ق الو ح ي املب ي ب ف ض ل ه م و ف الف ت ح أ ي ل لص ح اب ة ت د ح And in (Soorah) al-fat-h are verses about the Companions, praising them. (20) Since the clear Revelation has spoken of their excellence, د ع ام ة ع ق د الد ي ن و الد ي ن أ ف ي ح و ب الق د ر امل ق د و ر أ ي ق ن ف إ ن ه The pillar that combines many affairs of the Religion, and the Religion encompasses much. (21) And regarding the pre-ordained Qadr, be convinced, since it is و ل ت ن ك ر ن ء ج ه ال ء ن ك ي ا و م ن ك را و ل احل و ض و امل يز ان إ ن ك ت ن ص ح Or the Pool or the Scales, surely you are being advised sincerely. (22) And do not reject, out of ignorance, (belief in) Nakeer and Munkar, 5

7 و ق ل : ي ر ج الل الع ظ ي م ب ف ض ل ه م ن الن ا ر أ ج س ادا م ن الف ح م ت ط ر ح Out of the Fire, people, burned severely, who will then be tossed ي ط ف ح إ ذ ج اء الس ي ل ح ي ل ك ح ب Like a seed taken by a flood that comes and wipes things away with its abundant water. (23) And say: Allaah, the Great, will remove, from of His Grace, ب ائ ه ت ي ا الف ر د و س ف الن ه ر ع ل ى (24) Into the river in Firdows, wherein they will regain life by its water, ف ع ذ ا ب الق ب : ح ق م و ض ح و ق ل و إ ن ر س و ل الل ل ل خ ل ق ش اف ع And speak about the punishment of the grave, that it is the truth, made clear. (25) And surely, the Messenger of Allaah will intercede, أ ه ل الص ال ة و إ ن ع ص و ا ف ك ل ه م ي ع ص ي و ذ و الع ر ش ي ص ف ح و ل ت ك ف ر ن Since all of them commits sins, while the Owner of the Throne forgives graciously. (26) And do not make takfeer of those who pray, even if they commit sins, م ق ال ل م ن ي ه و اه ي ر د ي و ي ف ض ح ي اخل و ار ج إ ن ه و ل ت ع ت ق د ر أ A position held by only those who desire it, and it is destructive and disgraceful. (27) And do not hold a belief like that of the Khawaarij, for it is أ ل إ ن ا املر ج ي ب الد ي ن ي ز ح ل ت ك م ر ج ي ا ل ع و با ب د ي ن ه Surely, the Murji is joking about the religion (ie. not taking it seriously). (28) And do not be a Murji, one who plays games with his religion, و ف ع ل ع ل ى ق و ل الن ب م ص ر ح و ق ل : إ ن ا اإل ي ان ق و ل و ن ي ة And Actions, according to the explicit statement of the Prophet. (29) And say: Eemaan (faith) consists of statements, intentions, ب ط اع ت ه ي ن م ي و ف الو ز ن ي ر ج ح و ي ن قص ط و را ب امل ع اص ي و ت ار ة 6

8 Because of obedience it grows, and on the Scale it will outweigh (other things). (30) And it decreases sometimes, due to disobedience, and sometimes و د ع ع ن ك آر اء الر ج ا ل و ق و هل م ف ق و ل ر س و ل الل أ و ل و أ ش ر ح Since the stance of the Messenger of Allaah is more befitting and easier on one s chest. (31) And keep yourself from the opinions of people and their stances, ف أ ه ل احل د ي ث و ت ق د ح و ل ت ك م ن ق و م ت ل ه و ب د ي ن ه م ف ت ط ع ن Attacking the people of hadeeth and reviling them. (32) And do not be from those who play games with their religion, ه ذ ه ي ا ص اح الد ه ر اع ت ق د ت م ا إ ذ ا و ت ص ب ح ت ب ي ت ع ل ى خ ي ف أ ن ت You will be upon goodness, day and night. (33) If you keep this belief all your life, O holder of this (poem), 7
