1283 — Muhammad ibn Ja'far: Abu al-Hasan al-Miqdadi recited to us verses by Mahmud al-Warraq:

I have nothing but contentment with Allah’s decree,
In what I have loved and what I have hated.

Were affairs mine to choose, I would not know
Which of their outcomes would be best for me.

So I deem it fitting to refer that matter back to the One
Who possesses the knowledge that I have lacked.
