0 my Allah I give witness that beyond a shadow of doubt he
is Thy favourite and choicest confidant, who enjoys Thy confidence and favour,
precisely like his father!
Thou looked upto him and elected him in Thy cause,
picked and chose him for the good fortune,
selected for him the best purified parents,
appointed him guardian, leader,
and defender of rights, a true representative (inheritor and
progenitor) of guardians, leaders and defenders of rights,
gave him much and more from the inheritance of the Prophets,
put him forward as a decisive argument, alongwith the other successors (of the Holy
Prophet-the twelve lmaams) to the mankind.
He met with deadly dangers, acted justly and fairly, made
use of everything belonging to him to pay full attention to give sincere advice,
took pains, made every effort and put his heart, mind,
soul and life at the disposal of Thy mission to liberate the people from the yoke of ignorance and evil of bewilderment,
but an evildoer, deceived with
empty hopes of mean and worthless worldly gains, had pressed heavily on him, and

sold out his share
(eternal bliss) for the meanest and
lowest bargain, betrayed his "day of judgement" for a
vulgar return, took pride in insolence,
fell into the fathom-
well of silly stupid follies, provoked Thee and Thy
Prophet to anger, did as the
harsh discordant, the hypocrite,
the heavily burdened bearers of
sin,
condemned to Hellfire, advised to him,
however,
he (the Holy lmarn),
steadily, rightly and justly
coped With them, till, in Thy
obedience, gave his life after
which his family was set adrift.
0 my Allah,
therefore, condemn them to hell as a denunciation and conviction; and crack-down on
them with a painful Punishment.
Peace be on you 0 the son of the Messenger of Allah!
Peace be on you 0 the son of the first of the successors
(of the Holy Prophet)!
I
bear witness that Allah put faith in you like He had full
confidence in your father,
and that you always looked for and collected good and virtue,
lived a highly praiseworthy life
and departed from this world a martyr, forsaken and abused;
I bear witness that Allah will
promptly fulfill the promise,
He made to you, and destroy those who left you helpless
and punish those who killed you;
I bear witness that you kept
your promise made with Allah,
and strived in His way till what
was certain came upon you,
so curse of Allah be an those
who killed you,
curse of Allah be on those who oppressed you,
curse of Allah be on the people who came to know and approved.
0 my Allah be my witness
that I make friends with those
who love him and oppose those
who deny him.
I, my father and mother, are
at your disposal 0 the son of the
Messenger of Allah.
I know and bear witness that you were "light" in the sublime
loins and in the pure wombs,
never touched you the dirt of ignorance, nor ever obscurity
concealed you in its folds;
