(And ward off every ugliness from us) We say, the Master says: "Ward off every ugliness from us." Is the presence of Al-Hussein's head, disfigured by wounds, between the feet of Yazid while he strikes his teeth with a stick not ugly? What is wrong with you? Has Satan inhabited your hearts and minds to this extent?

(For whatever good is said about us, we are worthy of it, and whatever bad is said about us, we are not so.)

This, by Allah, is the ultimate goal of our book: to sanctify them, may their glory be exalted, from every evil that has been said about them.
