Was he an intercessor for the Prophets and more pious than all of them? ْ الَّذِي ِ عَلَی ِ الْغَیُوْر هّٰللّٰ ُ ا َ لَعْنَة اْل َ أ ْ الَّذِي ِ عَلَی ِ الْغَیُوْر هّٰللّٰ ُ ا َ لَعْنَة اْل َ ُأ َتَبَصَّر ی َ اْل َّ ٍ و ُ بِإِطْرَاء ْن ی ِ َم ی ُ َتَبَصَّر ی َ اْل َّ ٍ و ُ بِإِطْرَاء ْن ی ِ َم ی Be on your guard!
