He did homage to ‘Umar and salaamed: the Prophet said, “(First) the salaam, then the talk.”

پس علیکش گفت و او را پیش خواند ** ایمنش کرد و به پیش خود نشاند

Then he (‘Umar) said, “To thee (greeting),” called him (to come) forward, reassured him, and bade him sit down by his side.

وز نوازشهای حق ابدال را ** تا بداند او مقام و حال را

And of the loving kindnesses of God to the Abdál (saints), in order that he (the ambassador) might know (the meaning of) maqám (permanent station) and hál (passing state).
