Poem By: Abu Muhammad Al-Qahtaanee
Say: Indeed the best of the Prophets is Muhammad; and he is the worthiest person to have traversed the dunes.
The worthiest of the companions of Messengers are Companions of Muhammad; so also their best were the Two Umars (Abu Bakr and Umar).
They were two men created to assist Muhammad with their blood and souls; those were the two men.
They were the duo who showed their help to our Prophet and they were in-laws to him.
Their two daughters were most gleaming of the wives of our Prophet; the two ladies were companions to him in revelation.
Their fathers were the most shinning of the Companions of Ahmad. Oh! What good men and good daughters!
They were his two deputies who took forward in excellent deeds.
They were to Ahmad assistants and aids in terms of closeness to him in their graves where they rest.
They were merciful to Islam and in the religion of Ahmad they were like two mountains.
They were the most pious (in the Ummah), strongest, humblest, most fearful (of Allâh) in secret and in the open.
The most shinning, the most purified, highest, most outstanding in measure and weight.
The friend of Ahmad, associate in the cave, he who was in the cave while the Prophet was the second.
I mean: Abu Bakr whom two will not dispute his excellence in our Sharee'ah.
He was the scholar of the Companions of the Prophet and their best; their leader, in truth not in falsehood.
He was the father of the purified lady whose purification came to us in Nuur and Fur'qaan.
I am pleased with Aaishah from the lineage of Bakr who whose loin-cloth is purified and protected.
She was the wife of the best of the Prophets; his virgin-lady, bride and one of the women.
She was his bride, his companion, and pet; she was his lover in truth without deceit.
Was not her father loving to her husband whereby both of them, by the Spirit of Allâh, are one.
When the friend of Ahmad played his role, he relinquished the reign of the caliphate to the second.
I mean: Al-Faaruuq; he separated, by force and sword, between Kufr and Eemaan.
He exhibited Islam after it was in hiding, he obliterated darkness and revealed what was being hidden.
Then he went and the matter became a Shuurah among them, and they agreed over Uthmaan.
He who used to keep awake in the night in a Rak'ah such that he would complete the whole Qur'aan.
Then the in-law of Ahmad became the Caliph after him; I mean Alee the pious scholar.
He was the husband of the virgin (Faatimah), his brother, pillar, lion in wars and home for peers.
Glory to He Who made the Caliphate a level and built the Imamate as He willed.
And Who made the Companions succeeded one another so that there would be no Prophet after Ahmad.
I am pleased with Faatimah, the virgin-lady, and I am pleased with her husband and the duo who were ground sons of Ahmad.
The two were branches, their origin was the nursery of Ahmad. To Allâh is the worthiness of the origin and branches.
I am also pleased with Talhah, Zubayr and their Sa'd, so also Sa'eed, and AbdurRahman.
Also Abu Ubaydah the religious and pious person. Seek praise for the gathering of those who witnessed the Allegiance of Pleasure.
Leave what occurred among the Companions with their swords on the day the Two Armies met.
Their dead were from them; their killers were for them. Both of them shall on the Day of Resurrection be shown mercy.
Allâh will remove what their hearts may conceal of malice on the Day of Resurrection.
Woe to the riders who rode to Uthmaan and converged on evil.
Woe to those who killed Al-Husayn; indeed such has courted from his Maulaa a big loss.
We will not declare a Muslim a Kaafir because of a major sin, thus Allâh is the Possessor of pardon and forgiveness.
