I take refuge in God from the yoke of the plague. Its high explosion has burst into all countries and was an examiner of astonishing things. Its sudden attacks perplex the people. The plague chases the screaming without pity and does not accept a treasure for ransom. Its engine is far-reaching. The plague enters into the house and swears it will not leave except with all of its inhabitants. “I have an order from the qadi (religious judge) to arrest all those in the house.” Among the benefits of this order is the removal of one’s hopes and the improvement of his earthly works. It awakens men from their indifference for the provisioning of their final journey.
