ألْحَمْدُ للهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظيمِ
|
All praise be to Allah; the Most High, the All-great.
|
والسَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ أيُّها الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ الزَّكيُّ
|
Peace be upon you; O the righteous, pure servant (of Allah).
|
اُودِعُكَ شَهادَةً مِنِّي لَكَ تُقَرِّبُني إلَيْكَ فِي يَوْمِ شَفاعَتِكَ،
|
I entrust with you a testimony of mine that takes me near you on the day of your intercession (for some people).
|
أشْهَدُ أنَّكَ قُتِلْتَ وَلَمْ تَمُتْ
|
I bear witness that although you were slain, you have not died;
|
بَلْ بِرَجاءِ حَياتِكَ حَيِيَتْ قُلُوبُ شيعَتِكَ،
|
Rather the hearts of your adherents (Shi`ah) are living on the hope of your being alive;
|
وَبِضِياءِ نُورِكَ اهْتَدَى الطَّالِبُونَ إلَيْكَ،
|
And by the light of your illumination have those seeking you been guided (to the right path).
|
وَأشْهَدُ أنَّكَ نُورُ اللهِ الَّذي لَمْ يُطْفَأْ وَلا يُطْفَأُ أبَداً،
|
And I bear witness that you are verily the Light of Allah that has not and shall never be extinguished.
|
وَأنَّكَ وَجْهُ اللهِ الَّذي لَمْ يَهْلِكْ وَلا يُهْلَكُ أبَداً،
|
And you are verily the Face of Allah that has not and shall never be perishing.
|
وَأشْهَدُ أنَّ هذِهِ التُّرْبَةَ تُرْبَتُكَ،
|
And I bear witness that this soil is yours,
|
وَهذا الْحَرَمَ حَرَمُكَ،
|
And this holy precinct is yours.
|
وَهذا الْمَصْرَعَ مَصْرَعُ بَدَنِكَ
|
And this death is the death of your body only,
|
لا ذَليلَ واللهِ مُعِزُّكَ
|
While you have never been humiliated since Allah is the One Who is pouring honor upon you
|
وَلا مَغْلُوبَ واللهِ ناصِرُكَ،
|
And you have never been defeated since Allah is the One Who is supporting you.
|
هذِهِ شَهادَةٌ لي عِنْدَكَ إلى يَوْمَ قَبْضِ روُحي بِحَضْرَتِكَ،
|
I would like you to keep this testimony of mine with you up to the day when my soul will be grasped in the presence of you.
|
والسَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكاتُهُ.
|
Peace and Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you.
