I (complain) to Allah of the falsehood of ‘Ali’s children and of the great falsehood of their
statement. They call the Prophet father, while one of the lines of (Surat) al‐Ahzab refuses
(that).[1] After al‐Nimri had finished reciting the poem, Harun said to him: “Woe unto you! A thing
has been in my soul for twenty years. I have been unable to manifest it, while you have showed it
in this poetry line, ‘When you hurt them….’” Then he said to al‐Fedl b. al‐Rabi‘: “Take al‐Nimri by
the hand, let him enter the public treasury, and let him take whatever he pleases.” Al‐Rabi‘ let him
enter the public treasury where there was nothing except twenty purses of money. He carried
them (and went away).[2]
Mansur al‐Nimri affected inclination to Harun and enmity toward the ‘Alawids. However, he
harbored friendship to them. So an opponent of his inform al‐Rashid against him and told him that
he secretly maintained Shi‘ism. He recited to him Mansur’s poem in which he lamented for the
murder of the master of martyrs, Imam al‐Husayn, peace be on him. The poem is as follows:
A luxurious, neglect one from among the people willed; they busy the people with the false.
The Prophet’s children are killed; and they wish the killer the abiding gardens.
Woe unto you, O killer of al‐Husayn! You have borne a burden weighing heavily on the bearer.
Which favoritism have you given to Ahmed in respect with his family?
With which face will you meet the Prophet while you took part in killing him?
Come on! Seek his intercession tomorrow or do not come to his heavenly water along with those
drinkers.
I have no doubt about him who killed him; rather I have doubt about him who killed him.
O you who blame me, indeed I love Ahmed’s children; therefore earth is in the blamer’s mouth!
I had adopted that on which your religion depended, but I had not reached any benefit through
your religion.
Your religion is turning away from the Prophet; and one who turns away from the Prophet’s family
is like him who communicates with them.
[1] He refers to this sacred verse: Muhammed is not the father of any of your men, but he is the
Apostle of Allah.

In his poem, Mansur has dealt with the complaint of Fatima, peace be on her, and demanded him
who took vengeance on those who wronged her, saying: She is wronged, while the Prophet is her
father. She turns her eye full of tears in all directions. Are there not enthusiastic ones to show
anger for her through pulling out the swords and thin, sharp spears? His following poetry lines
were recited to Harun: The Apostle’s family and those who love them hide themselves out of fear
of killing. The Christians and the Jews are safe, while the community of monotheism harasses and
terrifies them. So Al‐Rashid burnt with rage and anger. He ordered him to be brought
immediately. The police went to him, but they reached on the night when he died and was
