<Translation of another Salwat on Imam Hussain (as) >
O Allah send blessings on Husayn, Thy bondman,
Thy friend, the son of Thy Messenger,
the offspring of “Mercy”, the prime leader of the people of the Paradise,
much and more blessings than Thou had bestowed upon any descendant of the
Prophets and Messengers.
O Allah send blessings on Husayn bin Ali, the much tormented martyr,
who was killed by the infidels, and left unburied by the profligates!
Peace be on you,
O Aba Abdillah!
Peace be on you,
O the son of the Messenger of Allah!
Peace be on you ,
O the son of the Ameer ul Moomineen!
I know for certain and testify that you are a faithful confidant of Allah, exactly like
your father, you had been wrongfully killed and left this world as a martyr. I bear
witness that , verily, Allah is your blood-claimer, and fulfiller of the promise He
made with you to help and assist for the total annihilation of your enemies, and
make your claim stand out and prevail…
I bear witness that you had kept your promise with Allah, fought in the way of
Allah, and sincerely served Allah, till the inevitable came unto you, Curse of Allah
be on the people who killed you, curse of Allah be on the people who deserted and
left you helpless, curse of Allah be on the people who incited others to oppose you. I
turn to Allah by disconnecting all links with those who refused to accept you, paid ..
no attention to your claim, and deemed your blood-shedding lawful, My father and
mother are at your disposal, O Aba Abdillah! Curse of Allah be on your killers,
curse of Allah be on those who ran away from you , curse of Allah be on those who
heard your call yet did not give answer, nor came to help you, curse of Allah be on
those who held your womenfolk as captive ..
I turn to Allah by disconnecting all links with them and those who befriended them ,
cooperated with them, helped them. I bear witness that, verily, you and the Imams,
in your progeny are the essence of piety, gateway to guidance, the safe handle ..
(Islam), and the clear proof of truth for the mankind. I vouch for my believe in you,
I am sure of your rank and stature, I am your follower, in letter and spirit, in the
matter of my religious performance, day-to-day conduct, and “returning to the
Creator”, while I live in this world and make preparation for the Hereafter…. |
