Without a Reason Set Ablaze,

By: `Ala’ ad-Din al-Hilli (killed in 786 A.H.)

The virtuous scholar and the accomplished man of letters `Ala’ ad-Din son of Shaikh Ali ibn al-Husain al-Hilli al-Shafhani, a contemporary to the First Martyr, who, may Allah have mercy on him, explained some of his poets, said,

They unanimously agreed upon it, with their whims,

Ignorance and hope, to burn the house of al-Zahra’

Fatima! What an awful momentous thing to do!

A house wherein five whose sixth is Gabriel

Without a reason set ablaze,

And the Murtada from his home forcibly taken
