The Poem On Imam Zain Al Abidin A.S

 It has been recorded that he was witness to the presence of Imam Ali Zayn Al-Abidin (`a) at the pilgrimage in Mecca when many people quietly asked who was the holy man in their presence and Farazdaq answered as follows

This is he whose ability the valley (of Mecca) recognises (as do) the sanctuary and the area outside the sanctuary (al-hill).

And this is the son of the best of God`s servants. This is the pure pious man, the pure eminent man.

When he comes to touch the corner of the wall of the Ka`ba, it almost grasps the palm of his hand.

He tales care to be modest and he is protected from his terror.

None of mankind has within their souls such primacy as he does nor such grace as he does.

Whoever knows God, knows his friend (wali). Religion is from the House of this man.

When Quraysh saw him, their spokesmen told of the outstanding qualities of this man which indicate (his) nobility.
