Sample Text
'qaala rasuulu allaahi Sallaa allaahu :alayhi wa-'aalihi wa-sallama [k]affii wa-[k]affu :aliyyin fii al-:adli saw 'un' Translation The Prophet of God - God bless him and his family and grant him salvation! - said, "The palm of my hand and the palm of Ali are equal in doing justice." Note Inscription in Arabic. The upper stroke of the two letters /kaaf/ were omitted, so that the text actually reads /laffii wa-laffu :aliyyin/. We are grateful to Manijeh Bayani for reading this inscription.
