بخش 101 - قوله علیه السلام من بشرنی بخروج صفر بشرته بالجنة

The decease of Ahmad (Mohammed), (the prophet) of the last (epoch of) time, will indisputably occur in (the month of) the First Rabí‘.

When his heart shall gain knowledge of this moment of decease, he will become intellectually in love with that moment,

And when (the month) Safar comes, he will rejoice on account of Safar, saying, ‘After this month I will make the journey.’”

From this longing for (the Divine) guidance he (Mohammed) was crying, every night till daybreak, “O most High Companion on the Way!”

He said, “Any person who gives me the good news, when Safar steps forth from this world,

That Safar is past and that the month of Rabí‘ is come—for him I will be a bearer of good news and an intercessor.”

‘Ukkásha said, “Safar is past and gone.” He (Mohammed) said, “O mighty lion (valiant hero), Paradise is thine.”

Some one else came, saying, “Safar is past.” He (Mohammed) said, “‘Ukkásha has borne away the fruit (has gained the reward) for the good news.”

Men, therefore, rejoice in the world's departing (from them), while these children rejoice in its abiding (with them).

Inasmuch as the blind bird did not see the sweet water, the briny water seems to it (like) Kawthar.

Thus was Moses enumerating the (gifts of) grace, saying, “The pure (liquor) of thy fortune will not be turned into dregs.”

He (Pharaoh) said, “Thou hast done well and spoken well, but (give me time) that I may take counsel with (my) good friend.”
