blow
I have succeeded, by
the Lord of the Ka’bah

After sprinkling some
dust on his wound…
From it (the earth) We
have created you, to it We
shall return you,
and from it We shall take
you out once again.

IMAM ALI (A.S) ROZA
Beware, Do not kill any on
account of me except my
killer. Wait till I die with his
existing stroke…

limbs of the man for I have
heard…

cutting limbs even though it may
be a rabid dog”.

have created you, to it We
shall return you, and from
it We shall take you out
once again.
