The commentary of al-Qa si dah 17 You were sent by your Lord, the Noble, the Beneficent , At a time when evil and vice deluged. What a noble man! What a man of glory ! His breath smells like the fragrance of sweet basil. The Protector ( God ) is visible in his face; And all of his virtues shine in great glory. That is why he is beloved. Indeed his beautiful virtues demand; That he be adored to the exclusion of all.
