"Blessed be He who gave to the Iman Muhammad mansion adorned so magnificiently. Do we not have here in this garden a work so beautiful as to be unrivalled in all God's creations. the glistening pearl of which she is made have overflowed into her very substance. Liquid silver incomparable in its whiteness and brilliance, flows between her jewels become entwined so that it is impossible to say which of them is flowing. See how the water laps against the rims of the channels, to be hidden moments later underground, just as a lover tries to keep the tears in his eyes from betraying him. And truly, is she not like a cloud who pours down her beneficience onto the lions; and in the same way, the hand of the Caliph, from the first light of dawn, does he not also pour his bounty upon the lions of war....'
