Chapter Three - Concerning The Praises of Rasulullah (saw) ::
After
claiming his love in the first chapter, and how to attain it,
in the second chapter Allamah Busairi RA begins the praises of
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam. He openly declares his
love and shows the great qualities and perfect character of Rasulullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam. While showing his love he also shows
the unrestricted and unlimited love which Allah Ta'aala has for
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam. To the best of his ability
Allamah Busairi RA tries to express the exalted status granted
to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam. When Allah Ta'aala
has praised the beloved Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam, then
why should he and all of us also not try to excell in our praises
and love for Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam?
1. I transgressed the sunnat of him (Nabi, Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam)
who passed the night (in ibaadat).
2. Until his feet complained of injury due to being swollen.
3. And he tied and folded, on account of hunger, around his stomach
4. A stone beneath which is his delicate skin.
5. And high mountains of gold (tried to) tempt him.
6. Towards it, but he was (completely) disinclined due to his
high courage.
7. His piety increased inspite of his need.
8. For verily need never prevails (overpowers) the infallible.
9. How can the necessities of such a noble personality incline
him towards this world.
10. For had it not been for him this world would not have come
out of non existence.
11. Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam) is the leader of both
the worlds and both the creations (man and jinn).
12. And of both groups, Arabs and Non-Arabs.
13. Our Nabi, the one who commands (good), forbids (evil). There
is non (parallel to him).
14. More truthful than him in saying "No" or "Yes".
15. He is (Allah's) most beloved, whose intercession is hoped
for.
16. For every fear (and distress) that is going to come (on the
day) of agony (and fears).
17. He called (people) towards Allah, so those who cling to him,
18. Cling to a rope, which will never snap.
19. He transcends the Ambiyaa, physically and in (noble) character.
20. And (the other Ambiyaa) cannot come near him in knowledge
and noble nature kindness.
21. They all obtained from Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam).
22. (Like a) handful (of water) from the ocean or (a few) sips
from continuous rains.
23. And they all stopped before him at their (assigned) limits.
24. (Either) of a point of knowledge or to gain one wisdom from
(his) wisdom.
25. For he is the one with whom, ended all outward and inward
perfection's.
26. And then the Creator of all creation chose him as (His) most
beloved.
27. He has no equal in his magnificence.
28. The jewel of (excellence) in him is indivisible.
29. Discard what the Christians claim about their Nabi.
30. Then decide and say what you wish in praise of him (Rasulullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam).
31. And attribute towards his personality whatever you wish of
excellence.
32. And attribute to his dignified status as much greatness as
you wish.
33. For verily excellence of the Messenger of Allah has no (limits).
34. Bounds, that a speaker might (be able to) express with his
mouth.
35. If his miracles were proportionate (according) to his rank
in greatness.
36. Then his name would have, when called out brought decaying
bones back to life.
37. He did not try to (test) us with that which would confound
our minds.
38. Out of keen interest (kindness) for us, neither were we suspicious
(about the truthfulness of his mission) nor were we confounded
(by his doctrines).
39. His perfect inner nature made people helpless from comprehending,
so it was not understood.
40. Those near and far, except according to their (helpless) imperfect
understanding.
41. Like how the sun is seen, by the eyes from far.
42. Verily small, yet hurts (dazzles) the eye (when you stare
at it).
43. And how can the reality of him be comprehended in this world.
44. A sleeping nation whose description of him are (like interpretations
of) a dream.
45. So the extreme depth of (our) knowledge concerning him, is
that he is a man.
46. And verily he is the best of all the creation of Allah.
47. Every miracle which all the Nabi's showed.
48. Verily they have been derived from his noor.
49. For verily he is the sun of virtue (and) they (Ambiyaa) are
its stars.
50. Which show their lights to people only in the dark.
51. Until when the sun rose his light spread.
52. Universally and gave life to all the nations.
53. How noble are the physical qualities of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi
Wassallam adorned with good character.
54. (who) was vested with beauty and distinguished by pleasant
temperament.
55. (He) is like a blooming flower in its freshness and the full
moon in splendor.
56. And the ocean in generosity and time in its fearless courage.
57. Even when alone, it appears due to his grandeur.
58. As though (he is) in the midst of a large army and its retinue.
59. It is like pearls well preserved in oysters.
60. From the two mines, of his speech and his smiles.
61. No perfume equals the dust (earth) which is touching his (Rasulullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam's mubarak) body.
62. Glad tidings be to the person who smells it (the dust) and
kisses it.
