His hand and foot are inanimate, and whatever his spirit says (commands), those two are under its control.
دست و پای او جماد و جان او ** هر چه گوید آن دو در فرمان او
Albeit they (the sceptics) propound (reasons for) suspicion with their tongues, their hands and feet give testimony (against them).
با زبان گر چه که تهمت مینهند ** دست و پاهاشان گواهی میدهند
How the Prophet, on whom be peace, manifested a miracle by the speaking of the gravel in the hand of Abú Jahl—God's curse on him!—and by the gravel's bearing witness to the truth of Mohammed, on whom be God's blessing and peace.
اظهار معجزهی پیغامبر علیه السلام به سخن آمدن سنگ ریزه در دست ابو جهل و گواهی دادن سنگ ریزه بر حقیقت محمد علیه الصلاة و السلام
There were some pebbles in the hand of Bú Jahl: “O Ahmad,” said he, “tell quickly what this is.
سنگها اندر کف بو جهل بود ** گفت ای احمد بگو این چیست زود
If thou art the Messenger (of God), what is hidden in my fist? (Speak), since thou hast knowledge of the mysteries of Heaven.”2155
گر رسولی چیست در مشتم نهان ** چون خبر داری ز راز آسمان
He said, “How dost thou wish (me to do)? Shall I say what those (hidden) things are, or shall they declare that I am truthful and right?”
گفت چون خواهی بگویم کان چهاست ** یا بگویند آن که ما حقیم و راست
Bú Jahl said, “This second (thing) is more extraordinary.” “Yes,” said the Prophet, “(but) God hath greater power than that.”
گفت بو جهل این دوم نادرتر است ** گفت آری حق از آن قادرتر است
Without delay, from the middle of his (closed) fist every pebble began to pronounce the (Moslem's) profession of faith.
از میان مشت او هر پاره سنگ ** در شهادت گفتن آمد بیدرنگ
Each said, “There is no god” and (each) said, “except Allah”; (each) threaded the pearl of “Ahmad is the Messenger of Allah.”
لا إله گفت و إلا الله گفت ** گوهر احمد رسول الله سفت
When Bú Jahl heard this from the pebbles, in his anger he dashed those pebbles on the ground.2160
چون شنید از سنگها بو جهل این ** زد ز خشم آن سنگها را بر زمین
The rest of the story of the minstrel, and how the Commander of the Faithful, ‘Umar, may God be well-pleased with him, conveyed to him the message spoken by the heavenly voice.
بقیهی قصهی مطرب و پیغام رسانیدن عمر به او آن چه هاتف آواز داد
Turn back and hear the plight of the minstrel, for the minstrel had (now) become desperate from waiting (so long).
باز گرد و حال مطرب گوش دار ** ز آن که عاجز گشت مطرب ز انتظار
