وَ إِنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ زَعَمَ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ لِلْخِلَافَةِ أَهْلًا وَ لَمْ أَرَ نَفْسِي لَهَا أَهْلًا وَ كَذَبَ دَعْوَاهُ وَ إِنِّي أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِالنَّاسِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ رَسُولِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّا لَمْ نَزَلْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ مَظْلُومِينَ مُنْذُ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص And Muawiya claimed that I -asws see him rightful for the caliphate and I -asws don’t see myself ‑asws rightful, and his claim is false, and I -asws are foremost of the people with the people in the Book of Allah -azwj , upon the tongue of His -azwj Rasool -saww , apart from that we ‑asws , People -asws of the Household have not ceased to be oppressed since Allah -azwj Recalled Rasool-Allah -saww .

فَاللَّهُ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ مَنْ ظَلَمَنَا حَقَّنَا وَ نَزَلَ عَلَى رِقَابِنَا وَ حَمَلَ النَّاسَ عَلَى أَكْتَافِنَا وَ مَنَعَنَا سَهْمَنَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنَ الْفَيْ‏ءِ وَ الْمَغَانِمِ وَ مَنَعَ أُمَّنَا فَاطِمَةَ ع مِيرَاثَهَا مِنْ أَبِيهَا Allah -azwj is between us -asws and the ones oppressing us -asws of our -asws rights, and descended upon our -asws necks, and loaded the people upon our -asws shoulders, and prevented us -asws of our -asws share of the war booty in the Book of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic, and prevented our -asws mother -asws (Syeda) Fatima -asws of her -asws inheritance from her -asws father -asws .

إِنَّا لَا نُسَمِّي أَحَداً وَ لَكِنْ أُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ مَنَعُوا أَبِي وَ حَمُوهُ وَ سَمِعُوا وَ أَطَاعُوا لَأَعْطَتْهُمُ السَّمَاءُ قَطْرَهَا وَ الْأَرْضُ بَرَكَتَهَا We -asws are not naming anyone, but I -asws swear by Allah -azwj ! Had the people defended my ‑asws father -asws and protected him -asws , and listened and obeyed, the sky would have given them its drops, and the earth it’s blessings.
