Eulogies of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
His birth made manifest the sweet-smelling goodness of his substance. How fragrant was the commencement thereof, and the conclusion! (59) [It was] a day in which the Persians sagaciously opined that they were warned of the happening of evil and of vengeance; (60) And the pavilion of the Chosroes became, being fissured, like unto the courtiers of the Chosroes, irremediably disarrayed; (61) And the [Sacred] Fire, through sorrowfulness thereat, became extinct in its respirations [of flame], and the river [of the Tigris] dry at fount, through choking. (62)
