بخش 41 - نشان خواستن عبدالمطلب از موضع محمد علیه‌السلام کی کجاش یابم و جواب آمدن از اندرون کعبه و نشان یافتن

A voice reached him from within the Ka‘ba. It said, “O seeker, that righteous child

Is in such and such a wadi beneath yonder tree.” Then the good-fortuned old man at once set out.

At his stirrup (were) the princes of Quraysh, for his (Mohammed's)grandfather was one of the notables of Quraysh.

All his (Mohammed's) ancestors (reaching back) to the loins of Adam (were) lords in feast and fray and the carnage of battle.

This lineage is (applicable) only to his husk (body), which is strained pure (in descent) from mighty emperors.

His kernel, in sooth, is remote from lineage, and unsoiled (by contamination with mankind): none is its congener from the Fish to Arcturus.

None seeks (to know) the birth and (coming into) existence of the Light of God: what need of warp and woof hath God's robe of honour?

The meanest robe of honour that He bestows in recompense (for good works) excels the embroidered raiment of the sun.
