An Ummayyad Anomaly - Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz

Son of Abd al-Aziz! Were eye to weep
for an Umayyad, I would weep for you.
You rescued us from insult and slander.
If reward were possible, I would repay you.


Saying of Al-Sharif Al-Radi. (This could be the Shia author of Nahjul Balagha, but not sure about it).


From Knowledge and Wisdom by Imam Al Haddad.
