On Poems About Patience and Silence in Front of the Ignorant, and Not Treating Friends With Reproach, and Attracting the Enemy So That He Becomes Friends and on Hiding Secrets

43-2 Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Imran al-Daqqaq - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Kufi quoted on the authority of Sahl ibn Ziyad al-Adami, on the authority of Abdul Adheem ibn Abdullah Al-Hassani, on the authority of Mo’ammar ibn Khallad and others that they went to see Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام. One of them asked Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام, “May we be your ransom! Why do you look so pale?” The Imam عليه السلام replied, “I stayed up last night and was thinking about the following poem by Marvan ibn Abi Hafsat:How come it could not be thatThe children of the daughter inherit instead of paternal uncles.Then I went to sleep and saw someone holding onto the door frame and saying:How come it could not be thatThe pagans be the pillars of Islam?The children of the daughter inherit from their grandfatherWhile the uncle is abandoned without any share.How could the one captured and freed inherit?Many of the captured confessed fearing the sword.And the Qur’an informed you about the nobility of the oneAnd has told you about all the relevant decrees.Indeed the son of Fatima, well-known by his nameIs the one to inherit from the Prophet from his paternal uncles.But the son of Notayla will stand wondering on the sideCrying while the relatives sympathize.
