Summary

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful; may the peace of God be upon him, after whom there is no prophet.

We thank the Lord, the ruler of the kingdom, who has sent Mohammed, son of Amina.

We pour forth salutations on account of his excellency, and the relations of Mohammed who excels all.

Listen, O companions of Abd-el-Kadr; our (evil) deeds shall be reckoned unless we repent.

He who is ungrateful shall not be saved; let us repent, let us put away ingratitude, so that we may be saved.

Leave off imitating the worship of the heathen, see what Yinfa did and he was driven away.

When we come to the war and conquer the heathen, their goods shall be gathered together and the price fixed.

When the reckoning is made a division will take place, the share assigned to a horse and its owner will be put out.

And each soldier when he comes receives a share; let us repent of carrying off booty secretly, lest we burn in the fire,

Both the judge and those who come to receive judgment (shall burn); repent, leave off following the desire of your heart.
