The Miracle of Ahmad — Page 127
THE MIRACLE OF AHMAD عَلَى الْأَرْضِ قَوْمٌ كَالسُّيُوفِ دُعَاتُهُمْ فَمَنْ مَّسَّ هَذَا السَّيْفَ بِالشَّرِّ يُبْتَرُ On the earth is a group of people whose prayers act like a sword; He who dares to confront that sword is cut apart. تَرَى كَيْفَ نَرْقَى وَالْحَوَادِثُ جُمَّةٌ وَيُهْلَكُ مَنْ يَبْغِي هَلَاكِيْ وَيَمْكُرُ You witness how I am progressing despite the hardships facing me on all sides; He who seeks to destroy me and hatches a plan against me is destroyed. لَنَا كُلَّ آنٍ مِّنْ مُّعِينٍ حِمَايَةٌ نُغَادِرُ صَرْعَى مَاكِرِينَ وَنَظْفَرُ I have the support of a Helper; I incapacitate those who hatch plans against me, and I prevail. وَمَا إِنْ أَرَى فِي كَفَّكُمْ مَا يُبْطِرُ أَيَا شَاتِمًا لَّا شَاتِمَ الْيَوْمَ مِثْلَكُمْ 127 O one who utters abuse! There is none as vituperative as you; I do not see you being possessed of qualities as may incite you to show such pride. In response to the attack by Ali Hairi Shia أَذَاكَ قَوْلِي فِي حُسَيْنٍ فَتُوْغَرُ تَسُبُّ وَمَا أَدْرِي عَلَى مَا تَسُبُّنِي You hurl abuse at me, and I am not aware why you do so; Is your anger due to what I have said about Imam Husain? Is that what infuriates you? فَمَا نَالَكُمْ مِّنْ خَيْرِهِ يَا مُعْذِرُ أَتَحْسَبُهُ أَتْقَى الرِّجَالِ وَخَيْرَهُمْ Do you consider him to be more pious than the entire world? O exaggerator, what have you gained from such exaggeration?
