Loving the Prophet’s Family

Loving the Prophet’s Family

إِنَّا بَنِي الْمُصْطَفٰى لَا نَدَّعِيْ شَرَفًا                   اللهُ شَرَّفَنَا فِـيْ مُـحْـكَـمِ الـسُـوَرِ

We, Mustafa’s offspring do not claim nobility. Rather, Allah ennobled us in His sacred book,

وَأَذْهَبَ الرِّجْسَ عَنَّا حَيْثُ طَهَّرَنَا           مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ فَكُنَّا صَفْوَةَ الْبَشَرِ

Removing all blemishes, He purged us, the Family, making us the purest humans.

وَحُبُّنَـا مَـأْمَـنٌ مِـنْ هـَوْلِ يَـوْمِ غَدٍ                     بِهِ النَّـجَـاةُ مِـنَ الـنِّـيْـرَانِ وَالـوَزَرِ

Our love: a shelter against the frights of the Day; a refuge from the Fire.

وَلَـمْ يَـسَـلْ خَيْرُ خَلْقِ اللهِ أُمَّتَهُ                إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبى مَدٰى الْعُمُرِ

The Best of Creation only ever asked us to simply love his near kin.

فَاجْعَلْ لَدٰى سَيِّدِ الرُّسْلِ الْكِرَامِ يَدًا          فِيْ حُبِّنَا وَابْذُلِ الْأَمْوَالَ وَافْتَخِرِ

So show your love for the leader of the messengers by spending on his offspring.

إِنَّ الْوَفَاءَ عَلى حَوْضِ النَّبِيِّ فَلَا             تَرْفُضْ نَسِيْئَةَ رِبْحٍ فِيْهِ وَاتَّـجِـرِ

You will be repaid at the Pool of Kawthar. Do not overlook this profitable deal!

فَجَدُّنَا سَوْفَ يَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ إِلٰى                    أَحْفَـادِهِ شَـرْبَـةً صَـفْـوًا بِلَا كَدَرِ

With a pure drink, our grandfather will reward those who are kind to his grandchildren.

أَحْسِنْ إِلى مُحْسِنِيْ آلِ النَّبِيِّ وَلَا            تُجَازِ مِنْهُمْ مُسِيْئًا وَاعْفُ وَادَّخِرِ

Be kind to them if they are kind to you but forgive if they ever upset you.

كُلُّ الْوَشَائِجِ يَوْمَ الْحَشْرِ قَدْ قُطِعَتْ                    إِلَّا وَشَـائِـجَ آلِ الْـبَـيْـتِ فَـاعْـتَـبِـرِ

Remember, all bonds will be severed on the Day, except bonds with the Prophet’s Family.
