    (1) A fair-skinned one by whose face rainclouds are sought, A caretaker for the orphans and protector of widows. With him the clan of Hashim seek refuge from calamities, For they possess in him immense favor and grace...."

    (2) Report of Sawad ibn Qarib al-Sadusi who declaimed:
    Truly, you are the nearest of all Messengers as a means to Allah, son of the noblest and purest ones!
    Therefore, be an intercessor for me the Day none but you among intercessors shall be of the least benefit for Sawad ibn Qarib!
    Whereupon the Prophet [​IMG] smiled, upon him peace, and said: “You have obtained success, Sawad!”

    O Pillar of those who rely upon you, O Immunity of those who seek refuge in you, and Resort of those who seek herbiage and rain, and Neighboring Protector of those in need of shelter! O you whom the One God has chosen for His creatures by planting in him perfection and purity of character!​
