Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Uyun Akhbar Ar-Ridha Volume 2 Chapter 65: On An Elegy Recited About Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) 65-1 Tamim ibn Abdullah ibn Tamim al-Qurashi - may God be pleased with him - narrated that his father quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Ali al-Moshaya al-Madani who eulogized Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) in the following elegy: O the shrine of the Master! No one else existed like the Master Guidance perished after him And death followed it. O his shrine!
May not God’s blessings upon you ever end Every evening and every dawn, like a breeze; To us he was like a rain full of mercy; From which we were nourished. To us he was like a bright star; With whose light we could find our way. Then indeed sunk Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha’ in mire and sovereignty is with the unbeliever. O eyes, then I shall cry blood after him Over the extinction of glory and sovereignty!
Also Ali ibn Abu Abdullah al-Khawwafi eulogized Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) in the following poem: May God's Grace water thee, O land of Toos! What treasures has your land down deep!
O the grave of his (ar-Ridha’)! In thee clemency, Knowledge, purity, and glory abound. O envied grave! Angels do thee guard!
