This is for the day of revelation, as I was not there to hold you to my heart while you were trembling! And for the sake of the Day of Taif, when I was not there to block the stones from you with my chest! And for the day of Khadija’s death, I was not there to wipe away your tears and tell you: I will sacrifice your sandals! And for the sake of one Sunday, if I was not there while you were wiping the blood from your honorable face, I would protect you from that blow! And for the shoulder of the poisoned sheep, since I was not there to eat it for you! This is because I believed in you but did not see you, and because I believed you but did not hear from you, and because I loved you and did not turn a blind eye to you. May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.
