131 تَبِعُوا الرَّسُوْلَ بِرَحْلِهِ وَثَوَاءِ AL-QAŞİDAH صَارُوا بِسُبْلِ حَبِيبِهِمْ كَعَفَاءِ They followed the Messenger wherever he travelled and wher- ever he dwelled; They became like dust in their beloved's path. نَهَضُوا لِنَصْرِ نَبِيِّنَا بِوَفَاءٍ عِنْدَ الضَّلَالِ وَفِتْنَةٍ صَمَّاءِ They rose to help our Prophet faithfully at a time When misguidance and rebellion were rampant. وَتَخَيَّرُوا لِلَّهِ كُلَّ مُصِيبَةٍ وَتَهلَّلُوا بِالْقَتْلِ وَالْإِجْلَاءِ For the sake of Allah, they faced every calamity; They smiled in the face of death and exile. يَسْوَدُّ مِنْهَا وَجْهُ ذِي الشَّحْنَاءِ أَنْوَارُهُمْ فَاقَتْ بَيَانَ مُبَيِّنٍ Their brightness is beyond description; The intensity of their light burns the faces of the spiteful. وَدَعِ الْعِدَا فِي غُصَّةٍ وَصَلَاءِ فَانْظُرْ إِلَى خِدْمَاتِهِمْ وَثَبَاتِهِمْ Look at their services and steadfastness And leave the enemy alone in his pain and anguish. وَاغْفِرْ وَأَنْتَ اللهُ ذُو الاء يَا رَبِّ فَارْحَمْنَا بِصَحْبِ نَبِيِّنَا O our Lord, for the sake of the Companions of the Holy Prophet, have mercy on us, And forgive us, O Allah the Bestower of favours!
