THE LIVES OF THE SAHABAH @G@&%>(VOZ-I) 365
My attention is towards Allaah and His Rasool@@
And whoever focuses his attention to A/laah someday will never be deprived
HO w many were the bosom mends and well- wishers that we left behind
~ nhow d many were those well- wishers who cried and wailed
While the wailers thought th:t being distant from our land brought our
destruction
We think that the rewards for good deeds is something to look forward to
1 called the Banu Ghanam to wards the protection of their lives
And towards the truth when the clearpath became apparent to people
Nlaah be praised because they all accepted when
The caller called them towards the truth and towards success and they marched
in battle
Some of our companions veered away from guidance
They aligned themselves and gathered to take up weapons against us
We are like two armies, the one being guided to the truth
And right4 guided while the other is being punished
They transgressed and entertained false hopes
For Iblees misled them from the truth, because of which they were at a loss and
deprived
We had turned to the words of the Nabi Muhammad @8&
So the allies of the truth from amongst us andpure and have been purified
By the ties we have with our near relatives we seek to be close
Were it not for these ties ofkinship, there would be no closeness to them
After us, which nephew will fee/ safe from you
And which brother-in-law will you consider atter me
On the day when people and their words will be separated
You will come to know which of us had been adopting the truth

The Mu'mineen who sit back without excuse cannot be equal to those
who strive in Allaah's way (for Allaahlrpleasure) with their wealth and
their lives. Allaah has elevated the stages (status) of those who strive in
