Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib ( r.a) said , “ O Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him , I want to recite a poetry (naath) in your praise !. ”
Prophet (peace be upon him ) said , “ Please recite,I want to listen . May Allah keep your teeth safe ( meaning: may Allah keep you able to go on reciting such naaths )
Abbas (r.a) said :
{ few lines from his poetry }
” When you were born,the earth shone
And the horizon was illuminated by your light.
We travel in that illumination
And in the light and paths of right guidance. ”
