Sahaba Poem No4 - Ali ibn Abu Talib رضي الله عنه

 



He was Harun 'alayhi'l-salām (peace be upon him)to your Musa'alayhi'l-salām (peace be upon him)

Your brother & your son

Abu Turab was his kunya

The joke you made so fun


If not the greatest scholar

Then surely with his sword

There was no finer warrior

So loved by the Lord


He gave you two more boys

Called Hasan & Hussain raḍyAllāhu 'anhum (may Allāh be pleased with them)

They brought you so much joy

And helped take away the pain


The leader of the Muslims

But what a time of strife

The Kharijites did kill him

Cowards used a poison knife
