Guillaume--Life of Muhammad.pdf - Radical Truth

440 The Life of Muhammad
That your brother Muhammad, and know it well,
Is of that generous stock between al-ljajun J and Zamzam.
Obey him in truth and your fame will grow
And you will attain the greatest heights. He is
A prophet who has received God's mercy.
Ask him no hidden uncertain matter.
You had an example at Badr, 0 Quraysh,
And at the crowded cistern
The morning he attacked you with the Khazrajis,
Obeying the Great and Honoured One,
Helped by the Holy Spirit,' smiting his foes,
A true apostle from the Compassionate on high;
An apostle from the Compassionate reciting His book.
When the truth shone forth he did not hesitate.
I see his power mounting on every hand
In accord with God's decree (684)'
