These are the very hands that have clenched our blood...

These are the very hands that have clenched our blood, and these are the very jaws that have devoured our flesh. While these are the chaste and radiant corpses who are guarded, time and again, by the wolves, and hyenas strew sand upon them. And now when you consider us to be booty, this is for what sent before your hands (what you did in your life), and that (verily) Allah is not unjust to his servants. [8] I complain to Allah -azwj and rely on Him Alone.

Then you may lay whatever traps you have, and take thou whatever steps you desire, and endeavor as much as you want. By Allah -azwj ! You shall never be able to wipe out our remembrance nor oust our inspiration from the midst, nor will you be able to wipe off the disgrace of this episode. Your opinion is erroneous, and your days less, while your group is scattered on the day when the caller will announce: Beware! (Now) Verily the curse of Allah is on the unjust.

[9] Praise be to the Lord of the worlds, Who ended felicity upon our beginning with forgiveness, and Who destined martyrdom for our conclusion with blessings. I desire from Allah -azwj to complete His reward upon them, and increase it further, and to turn with fairness their succession upon us, for He is Merciful and a Friend. Allah is (quite) sufficient for us and the most Excellent Protector is (He)”.
