Hadith 45

is-saww family? You-azwj Made them-asws best of the Imams-asws raised for the people instructing with the good and forbidding from the evil, and struggling in Your-azwj Way, and communicating with Your-azwj Religion. You-azwj Purified them-asws with the Prohibition of the dead, and the blood, and the flesh of wine, and whatever is sacrificed and ritualised for other than Allah-azwj. You-azwj and Your-azwj Angels testified that they-asws sold their selves to You-azwj and worn out their-asws bodies from Your-azwj Awe, ruffled their-asws heads, dustied their-asws faces. The earth almost holds them-asws to it due to their-asws purity and their-asws merits extending the conferment upon it. Their-asws glory is lofty by the prohibition of the uncleanness of the foods and the drinks from types of intoxicants. So which nobility, O Lord-azwj, did You-azwj Make to be in Muhammad-saww and his-saww family, for by Allah-azwj, I-asws can be saying words no one from Your-azwj creatures can bear to be saying it. I-asws am the flag of guidance, and the cave/deposit of piety, and place of the generosity, and an ocean of bounties, and the mine of knowledge, and light in the overwhelming darkness, and a choice of the one who believes and fears, and completeness of the one who changes and hesitates, and most superior of the one who attended the secret counsels after the Prophet-saww, the Chosen one. And I-asws do not purify myself-asws by the Favour of my-asws Lord-azwj. I-asws hereby narrate that I-asws am the one of the two Qiblahs, and a bearer of the two flags. So, can anyone equal me-asws and I-asws am the father-asws of the two grandsons-asws (of Rasool-Allah-saww)? Can any mortal be the same as me-asws and I-asws am the husband of the best of the women? Can anyone surpass me-asws and I-asws am the moon radiating with the knowledge which my-asws Lord-azwj has Taught me-asws and I-asws am the treasure hoard of Euphrates. I-asws most resembling with the moon in its radiance and its glory, and with the Euphrates in its offerings and its generosity. O you people! Allah-azwj Illuminates the ways by us-asws, and I-asws established the milestone and worshipped Allah-azwj in His-azwj earth and diverted the creatures to His-azwj recognition, and Allah extolled the Holiness of Allah-azwj Majestic and Exalted by our-asws highly eloquent tongues, and astonished the minds by our-asws call. Allah-azwj Caused Muhammad-saww to pass away, fortunate, a martyr, a guide, a guided one, a custodian with what He-azwj had Sufficed him-saww with, a preserver of what he-saww preserved. The Religion was completed by him-saww and the certainty was clarified by him-asws, and the intellects accepted his-saww evidence, and he-saww manifested the arguments of His-azwj Prophets-as, and caused the falsehood to vanish, and clarified the spoken justice and suspended the hindrances of Satan-la, and clarified the truth and the proofs. O Allah-azwj! Make the merits of Your-azwj Salawats and superior of Your-azwj Blessings, and Your-azwj Lofty Mercy to be upon Muhammad-saww, Prophet-saww of Mercy, and upon People-asws of his-saww Household, the Pure’’.
