John Shaqi

جُفَاةٌ طَغَامٌ، عَبِيدٌ أَقْزَامٌ، جُمِّعُوا مِنْ كُلِّ أَوْب، وَتُلُقِّطُوا مِنْ كُلِّ شَوْب، مِمَّنْ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُفَقَّهَ وَيُؤَدَّبَ، وَيُعَلَّمَ وَيُدَرَّبَ، وَيُوَلَّى عَلَيْهِ، وَيُؤْخَذَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ، لَيْسُوا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالاْنْصَارِ، وَلاَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ تَبَوَّؤا الدَّارَ وَالْإِيمانَ.


Translation

Rude, low people and mean slaves. They have been collected from all sides and picked up from every pack. They need to be taught the tenets (of Islam), disciplined, instructed, trained, supervised and led by the hand. They are neither muhājirūn (immigrants from Mecca), nor anṣār (helpers of Medina) nor those who made their dwellings in the abode (in Medina) and in belief.
