God is my witness! Had it not been in conflict with that which the Tablets of God have
decreed, I would have gladly kissed the hands of whosoever
attempted to shed my blood in the path of the
Well-Beloved. I would, moreover, have bestowed
upon him a share of such worldly goods as God had
allowed me to possess, even though he who perpetrated
this act would have provoked the wrath of the
Almighty, incurred His malediction, and deserved to
be tormented throughout the eternity of God, the
All-Possessing, the Equitable, the All-Wise. |
