same way said: You are my vizier and successor. 2. To whom did he say:
You are my brother and which other companion did he address as he
addressed Ali? 3. Have you heard the tradition of his being the master on
day of Ghadeer and whether the meaning of Awla and deserving is correct or
not? 4. Did the Prophet not say anything regarding him so that there should
not remain any excuse for the opponents?

Died: 672 A.H.
1. You are the most deserving for Caliphate and there is nothing for
creatures like what is expressed about you regarding Caliphate. 2. Ghadeer
drops fire for those, who deny it; a fire, which is saved for them before the
terrifying scream. 3. If they ridicule the statement of Ahmad that you are the
master of creatures then they are themselves deserving of ridicule. 4. Your
loyalists do not fear Hellfire as it passes them and apprehends those not his
followers. 5. See that the fire leaves your loyalists and loyalty for you is
refuge for them. 6. You would be the distributor tomorrow and this enemy of Ali is amidst flames of fire and his follower is successful in Paradise.
This Qasida can be found in some ancient manuscripts, which have collected
couplets. It is a lengthy Qasida and its verses are scattered through books of
literature.

Jamaluddin Abul Husain Jazzar Misri. He is a forgotten Shia poet.

mentioned in positive terms, but his position his higher than what is mentioned
and Samawi has compiled his collected works comprising of 1250 verses. His
collected works was mentioned in positive terms in books of past scholars. They
have mentioned that his collected works (Diwan) was well known.

62. Qaazi Nizamuddin
Died: 678 A.H.
1. One, who is not affectionate to you for the sake of God will not get
relief from fire and chastisement of grave. 2. The heavens are created for the
sake of your grandfather; if it were not so, destiny and free would have been
the demands of creation. 3. Who is like Ali (a.s.) in mastership (Wilayat)?
Those, who harbor malice to him are nothing, but insane. 4. When people
refer to traditions and traditional reports, the statement of Prophet: ‘O God,
love those, who love him’ is sufficient for us. 5. The day of Ghadeer precedes
like a flood destroying our enemies. 6. His two sons are the two blossoms of
Paradise, then say: these fragrant crops have grown from a pure earth.
This Qasida comprises of 42 verses, which Qaazi Marashi has mentioned in
Majalisul Momineen.4
The second verse hints at the report that Hakeem has mentioned in
Mustadrak.5 It is narrated from Ibne Abbas that Almighty Allah sent revelation to
Isa (a.s.): O Isa, acquire faith in Muhammad and whoever you meet from your
Ummah, urge him to acquire faith in him, because if Muhammad had not been
there, I would not have created Adam, Paradise and Hell. I created the Throne
(Arsh) on the surface of water and water became agitated; so I wrote upon it:
There is no god, except Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; then it was
pacified.
After that Hakeem has narrated another tradition and deemed it as
authentic,6 which hints at what was mentioned above. The text of this tradition is
as follows:
“The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said: When Adam committed the error, he prayed: O
Lord, I call You by the right of Muhammad, please forgive me. Almighty Allah
said: O Adam, how can you recognize Muhammad, whereas I have not yet
created him? He replied: My Lord, when You created me with Your hand and
blew Your spirit into me, I raised my head and saw written on the foreleg of the
Throne: There is no god, except Allah; Muhammad is messenger of Allah; and I
knew that You do not bring anyone near to You name, except if he is the most
proximate of Your creatures. Allah said: You are right, Adam; he is the most
beloved of My creatures. Call me through his sake, in order that I may forgive
you; and if Muhammad were not there, I would not have created you.”
Baihaqi has mentioned this tradition in Dalailun Nabuwwah;7
and it is the book, regarding which Dhahabi has said:
“I recommend this book, as it is entirely effulgence and guidance.”
We mentioned this in brief, so that readers become aware of the absurdity of
the statement of Ibne Taymiyyah and his followers, like Qaseemi and that they
become aware of the excellence of Prophet.
