Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa who said, ‘Al Abbas Bin Musa Al Baghdady narrated to us, (It has been narrated) raising it to Abu Abdullah^asws, in answer to a sermon of the marriage: ‘The Praise is for Allah^azwj, the Chosen for the Praise, sincerely for Himself^saww, His^azwj Mention being Glorified by Him^azwj, and His^azwj Command being Radiated by Him^azwj. We^asws Praise Him^azwj without being in doubt. We^asws see what we^asws prepare hoping for its success and as keys to its benefits, and we^asws attain the needs by it from His^azwj Presence. And we^asws seek Guidance of Allah^azwj with the impeccable Guidance, and firm Security, and determined piety. And we seek Refuge with Allah^azwj from the blindness after the Guidance, and the actions during straying desires. And I^asws testify that there is no god except for Allah^azwj, One, there being no associates for Him^azwj, and I^asws testify that Muhammad^saww is His^azwj servant and His^azwj Rasool^saww, a servant such that he^saww never worshipped anyone apart from Him^azwj. He^azwj Chose him^saww with His^azwj Knowledge, and a trustworthy upon His^azwj Revelation, and a Rasool^saww to His^azwj creatures. So, may Allah^azwj Send His^azwj Blessings upon him^saww and his^saww Progeny^asws. Thereafter, so we^asws have heard your speeches, and you are the neighbours, the nearest ones we^asws wish to be in your alliance, and assisting you in your needs, and desiring to be your brethren. So we^asws have accepted the intercession of your interceders, and we^asws hereby marry to your proposer upon a stipulation that for her would be from the dower what you have mentioned. We^asws ask Allah^azwj Who Endorsed the affairs with His^azwj Measurement, that He^azwj Makes the end result of this gathering of ours to be what He^azwj Loves, Him^azwj being the Guardian of that and the One Able over it’.
