بغدرهم جزيوم الجمل:
و قد علموا ان يوم الغدير
1. They thought that the day of Ghadeer would be followed by the day
of Jamal for their deception and fraud. 2. So, O unjust people, who caused
distress to Prophet for losing his child. 3. In this matter the clear statement
of Quran and the clear statement of Prophet opposes you. 4. You have
disregarded his bequest and attribute to him, what he did not say…
Till the end of Qasida, which in the manuscript of his collection, contains 47 verses. Since this Qasida was against the religion of publisher he has edited it and this is not the first instance of such omission
Introduction to the poet
Abul Fath Mahmud bin Muhammad bin Husain bin Sindi bin Shahak Ramli1, famous as Kashajam, is a prominent member of this community and an incomparable part of it. He was a poet, calligrapher, scholastic theologian,
astronomer, logician and a traditionist.
He adopted the title of Kashajam in order to express his expertise in the
following sciences: ‘K’ is for his being a calligrapher (Katib), ‘Sh’ for his being a
poet (Shair), ‘A’ for his literary accomplishments (Adabiyat); ‘J’ for his expertise
in debate (Jadal) or due to his generosity (Jood) and ‘M’ for scholastic
theologian (Mutakallim), logician (Mantaqi) or astronomer (Munajjim).
He was the implication of the verse:
يُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَىَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَيِّتِ
“He brings forth the living from the dead.”2
Enmity of his ancestor (Sindi bin Shahak) towards Ahle Bayt (a.s.) and the
distress he caused to Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s.) in the prison of Harun has
blackened the pages of history. As for his grandson, Abul Fath Kashajam, he was
having contradictory beliefs, who openly advocated the Mastership (Wilayat) of
Ahle Bayt (a.s.), was prejudiced in their favor and defended them. This is not
strange, because Almighty Allah brings out gems from pebbles and makes the
rose to grow amidst thorns.
Birth and death
It is apparent from his verses at the beginning of the fourth century that he
was aged at that time. He was born in the middle of the third century. As for his
death: many dictionaries mention the date of his death between 360 and 350 A.H.
