Mu\u1e25ammad the Prophet is my brother and father-in-law,
\n\u1e24amza, the master of martyrs, is my uncle;
\nJ\u0101\u02bffar, the man who flies with the angels
\nMorning and evening, is my mother\u2019s son;
\nMu\u1e25ammad\u2019s daughter is my bride and my partner,
\nAnd our flesh and blood are intertwined;
\nA\u1e25mad\u2019s grandsons are my own two sons;
\nSo who among you, then, has a status like mine?
\nI was the first of you all to enter Islam,
\nStill a boy whose adolescence had not yet begun.<\/p>\n

Imam al-Bayhaq\u012b said,\u00a0\u2018These lines of poetry should be memorised by anyone\u00a0who is ignorant of the truth about \u02bfAl\u012b,\u00a0so that he can recognise his proud place in Islam’.<\/p>\n
