واذ قيل لهم اسكنوا هذه القرية وكلوا منها حيث شئتم وقولوا حطة وادخلوا الباب سجدا نغفر لكم خطيئاتكم سنزيد المحسنين

And remember it was Said to them: "Dwell in this town And eat therein as ye wish, But say the word of humility And enter the gate In a posture of humility: We shall forgive you Your faults; We shall increase (The portion of) those who do good."
