The Heavenly Decree — Page 19
The Heavenly Decree 19 whether I fell prey to the Batālawi, or the Batālawi fell prey to my prey! Batālawī's insolence has crossed all limits and his head is full of the worm of arrogance which God shall one day remove. Sadly, my opponents nowadays subsist on lies and calumny. They wish to establish their prestige through arrogance worthy of the Pharaohs. To the day that he was drowned along with his army, the Pharaoh thought of Mosesas as his prey. Finally, it was left to the Nile to show who was the real prey. I regret that an unworthy opponent has compelled me to use harsh words, while I am by nature averse to using such language. I never wanted to say such things, but it was Batālawi and his master who compelled me to respond in kind. There is still time for the Batālawi to change his attitude and to restrain his tongue, or he will rue these days. با دردکشان هر که در افتاد در افتاد 18 وَمَا عَلَيْنَا إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ : گندم از گندم بروید جوز جو از مکافات عمل غافل مشو 15 13 Whoever chooses to drink with those who can only afford the dregs of wine, becomes ipso facto one of them.
