The Author’s Foreword Al-Sahib al-Jalil Isma’il ibn Abbad - May God be pleased with him - has respectfully expressed greetings for Al-Reza (s) and said, O you who intend to go and visit Toos, land of purity and sanctification, Recite my greetings to Al-Reza and stop by the most honorable grave of the best buried one. By God! By God!
This is an oath, which is issued from a sincere one who is clinging to friendship! Verily, if I possessed my own need, I would reside at Toos, the inhabited. Verily, it is the place of the martyr wrapped in righteousness, famous for exaltedness and praise. O son of the Prophet through whom God broke the backs of the arrogant tyrants! O son of the Testamentary Trustee [7] who was the most meritorious of powerful men, attained perfect pride and naturally accompanied glory!
In another short poem he has also said, O visitor who got up early, ran, and walked like lightning when it flashes, Recite my greetings to my master Al-Reza, Who is at Toos, The grandson of the chosen Prophet, son of al-Morteza, the Testamentary Trustee, Who attained firm exaltedness and built white glory! Say to him: (These greetings) are from a loyal one who regards friendship as obligatory! Previous Next
