The Scroll, Translated
A faithful translation of the third scroll — the one that survived with its paragraphs intact. It moves from the opening praise of God through the chain of descent and the lives of the ancestors, down to the great house of Gilan.
The original is written in Persian, with passages of Arabic, in the formal register of a genealogical treatise (shajra-e-nasab). The text below is the translation prepared from the readable scroll, set out section by section. Where the scroll is damaged or a word is uncertain, this is marked with […] or a question mark. Honorifics and blessings on the Prophet ﷺ and the Imams are preserved as in the original. An Urdu rendering is provided alongside.
بِسْمِ اللَّٰهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.
All praise is for Allah who made the noblest among creatures and beings in lineage and descent. And He distinguished him (the Prophet) and his brother and his family, whom Allah honored with two kinds of nobility — of form and of meaning. And upon those whom He chose and blessed with noble companionship in essence and purity. Those whom Allah honored among His people with trustworthiness and nobility.
After this, says the servant hoping for the mercy of Allah the Most High, the Guardian, Ali ibn Hasan al-Jili — may Allah grant him His guidance, forgive him and his parents, and preserve him and bless their souls. And this humble servant of the dust of the noble presence (of Your Excellency)…
For a long time there was a wish to bring to the tip of the pen some words from the sweet fragrance of Your Excellency, and to reflect upon my own sins and disobedience. Observing the noble qualities… I kept delaying the honor of preparing this, not from neglect but out of abundance of sin and fear born of my many transgressions. It shall be that suddenly there comes a Hasani Sayyid through whom this sinful one…
In tradition it is narrated that Imran (Abu Talib) had four sons: Talib, Aqil, Ali al-Murtaza, and Ja'far al-Tayyar. The virtues of each are clear, except for Talib (of whom little is known). Between each of the four honored sons of Abu Talib there was a difference of ten years. Their protection and qualities were famous throughout the world, and Islam spread through them — as is narrated by 'Abbas ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib, the brother of 'Abdullah, that at that time…
It is reported and authentic that he was the true brother of 'Abdullah, the father of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and his noble mother was also from… Know — may Allah grant you goodness and happiness — that he ('Ali) was born within the Sacred House (Ka'bah) in the Year of the Elephant. The world was illumined by the light of his pure and holy existence.
His honorifics are Abu al-Hasan and Abu Turab; his titles Amir al-Mu'minin (Leader of the Faithful), Chief of the Brave, and the husband of Batool (Fatimah al-Zahra); he is Haydar the Valiant.
First, Fatimah, daughter of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and of the Mother of the Believers Khadijah al-Kubra, of the Quraysh. Second, Khawlah bint Hafs from the tribe of Hanifah; third, Layla bint Mas'ud al-Tamimiyyah; fourth, Umm al-Banin al-Kilabiyyah; fifth, Asma' bint Umays al-Khath'amiyyah… Sixth, Sahba' al-Tha'labiyyah; seventh, Ummamah bint Zaynab bint the Messenger of Allah…
Imam Hasan, Imam Husayn, Zaynab the Elder, and Umm Kulthum from Fatimah al-Zahra (AS). Zaynab the Elder was married to 'Abdullah ibn Ja'far al-Tayyar ibn Abi Talib; Umm Kulthum the Elder was given in marriage to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab… And Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah (from Khawlah)…
And 'Abdullah Abu Bakr ibn 'Ali drank the cup of martyrdom in the blessed company of Sayyid al-Shuhada (Imam Husayn) at Karbala. And 'Abbas the Elder, Ja'far the Elder, and 'Abdullah the Younger were also present in the battle of Karbala…
…and they displayed valor and attained martyrdom, winning the bliss of Paradise; they were from Umm al-Banin al-Kilabiyyah. And Muhammad the Younger, 'Umar the Elder, and Ruqayyah were from Sahba' al-Tha'labiyyah. And Muhammad the Middle (al-Awsat) was from Ummamah, daughter of Zaynab, daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).
His daughters were: Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum, Umm al-Hasan, Zaynab the Elder, Zaynab the Younger, Fatimah, Ummamah, Khadijah, Umm al-Karam, Umm Salamah, Umm Ja'far, Umm Hani, Maymunah, Umm Kulthum the Younger, Hamamah, and Nafisah. And the names of their mothers are clearly but not continuously recorded.
That on the day of his martyrdom, four of his pure wives were still living. Namely: (one unspecified) bint 'Adh, Layla bint Mas'ud, Asma' bint Umays, and Umm al-Banin al-Kilabiyyah. Those who survived him with certainty were five: Husayn, Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah, Abbas ibn 'Ali, and 'Umar al-Atraf. And after them is written 'Awn ibn 'Ali; and Allah knows best the reality of the matter.
His blessed titles are al-Mujtaba (the Chosen), as-Sayyid (the Chief), and at-Taqi (the Pious). His noble mother is the Mistress of the Women of the Worlds, the daughter of the Chief of the Prophets — Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (peace be upon her).
His blessed birth occurred in the third year of Hijra, nineteen days after the Battle of Badr — on the fifteenth of Ramadan, the blessed month. And his blessed name, Hasan, was given by divine revelation through Gabriel (Jibril). The Messenger (PBUH) loved him dearly — the first and the last of his loves — and carried him upon his shoulders. He (Imam Hasan) resembled the Messenger (PBUH) in appearance from head to waist.
His noble death occurred during the reign of Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan. On Thursday, the 22nd of Safar, in the fiftieth year after Hijra. And he was poisoned by his wife Ja'dah, at the instigation of Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan. His noble age was forty years; some say forty-seven and a few months.
His caliphate followed his noble father's martyrdom, in accordance with the hadith: "The caliphate after me will last thirty years." And according to the Imamiyyah (Shia), it lasted ten years; he was the executor and guardian appointed by his noble father. Sayyid al-Shuhada (Imam Husayn) washed, shrouded, and led his funeral prayer.
Due to Marwan's governorship in Madinah under Mu'awiyah, and his obstruction at the Prophet's tomb, he (Imam Hasan) was buried elsewhere. Although he had willed that, if no bloodshed would occur among Muslims, he should be buried in Jannat al-Baqi' beside his honorable grandmother, Fatimah bint Asad ibn Hashim.
And he is the second Imam concerning whom the noble Verse of Purity — "Indeed Allah wishes to remove impurity from you…" — was revealed.
It is narrated that one day during the Battle of Siffin, in the presence of his noble and exalted father, these two young boys wished to rush fiercely into battle. Then the Commander of the Faithful cried aloud: "O people! Keep these two children away from the fight… for they will never withdraw while alive, and I fear lest the lineage of your Prophet be cut off; for today none remain of the Prophet's progeny except these two." (Peace be upon him and his family.)
That noble one was of many marriages and many children; according to the narration of Shaykh al-Sharaf, who verified the records, sixteen children are confirmed. The sons — eleven in number — were Zayd, Qasim, Hasan al-Muthannā, Husayn al-Athram, Talhah, Isma'il, Abdullah, Hamzah, Ya'qub, Abdur-Rahman, Abu Bakr, and 'Umar (some say Abdullah is Abu Bakr). And the pure daughters: Umm al-Husayn, Umm al-Hasan, Fatimah, Umm Salmah, Umm Abdullah, and Ruqayyah.
Fatimah bint Hasan was married to Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn (Zayn al-'Ābidīn); from her was born Imam Muhammad al-Bāqir, and thus both the Hasanid and Husaynid Sayyids descend through her.
Zayd ibn Hasan did not attend the Battle (of Karbala); after it he joined Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr. His sister was married to Abdullah; after Abdullah's martyrdom in battle, Zayd brought his sister back to Madinah the Pure. Zayd, the generous, became the husband of his mother's kinswoman from the Ansar family of 'Urūj; his age was one hundred years — some say ninety-five. He died between Makkah and Madinah at a place called Hājiz. According to most reports, his brothers Abdullah, Qasim, and Abdur-Rahman were martyred alongside their noble uncle in Karbala, and a third brother died with him later at Abwā'.
And from him remained four sons: Zayd and Hasan al-Muthannā — from whom the noble line of the Beloved of the Two Worlds, the Ghawth al-Thaqalayn ('Abdul Qadir al-Jilani, may Allah be pleased with him), descends — and Husayn al-Athram, whose progeny ended shortly after. And from Zayd and Hasan al-Muthannā to this day the Hasani Sayyids shine like the sun at noon — O Allah, increase and do not diminish them; Āmīn, Lord of the Worlds.
His noble mother was the Mistress of Women, Fatimah al-Zahra, daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). His blessed birth was on Saturday, the fourth of Sha'ban in the fourth year of Hijra. His kunyah was Abu Abdullah; his title Seyyid al-Shuhadā'; he was born in the Illuminated City (Madinah).
His pure wives were three: Shahr Banu, daughter of Mirrah ibn 'Urwah ibn Mas'ud al-Thaqafi, and Rubāb al-Kalbiyyah. His noble children were six: Ali al-Akbar, Ali al-Asghar (also called Abdullah), Ali al-Asghar known as Imam Zayn al-'Ābidīn, Fatimah the Younger, and Sakīnah.
Fatimah the Younger was married to Hasan al-Muthannā, son of Imam Hasan, and thus the Husayni line joined the Hasani through her; Sakīnah was married to Mus'ab ibn al-Zubayr, and no offspring remained from them. His martyrdom was in the year 61 AH, on Friday, the tenth of Muharram, in the plain of Karbala — the story is well known and needs no retelling.
Mention of Hasan al-Muthannā, of the righteous descendants of Imam Hasan; he is the son of the Elder Grandson of the Prophet. His kunyah is Abu Muhammad and his title al-Muthannā ("the Second"). It is narrated that the Elder Grandson (Imam Hasan) asked his younger brother (Imam Husayn) for the hand of one of his noble daughters for his own honored son. Imam Husayn presented both daughters and said: "Choose whichever of the two you wish." Out of modesty, Hasan's son lowered his head and remained silent.
Then Imam Husayn said, "I have married to my nephew Hasan al-Muthannā my daughter Fatimah the Younger, for she most resembles in form and character her noble grandmother Fatimah bint Rasul Allah (peace be upon him)." And in reliable books, hadith from Bukhari and others narrate that his blessed death was in the year 95 AH in the Illuminated City (Madinah).
Mention of the remaining Infallible Imams — to be explained in detail after this, God willing.
His offspring were five who left descendants; the rest are not written here: first – ʿAbd Allāh al-Maḥḍ (the Pure), second – Sayyid Ibrāhīm, third – Ḥasan al-Muthallath (the Third Hasan). They were from Fāṭimah daughter of Imam Ḥusayn (peace be upon him); the fourth was Sayyid Jaʿfar, the fifth Sayyid Dāwūd, whose mother was Umm Dāwūd.

He resembled the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him); his blessed birth was in Madinah al-Munawwarah. He was the Elder of Banū Hāshim; his noble mother was Fāṭimah daughter of Imam Ḥusayn, as mentioned above. He was called al-Maḥḍ ("the Pure One") because he was noble on both his paternal and maternal sides and lived a long life, such that he was known as Shaykh ʿIzzah (the Venerable Elder). He was brave, a poet, generous, and possessed manifest miracles. He was imprisoned by Abū Jaʿfar al-Manṣūr (ad-Dawānīqī) in noble Baghdad in the month of Ṣafar, year 136 AH.
He had six sons who left descendants: Muḥammad Dhū an-Nafs az-Zakiyyah ("the Pure Soul"), and Ibrāhīm the martyr of Bakhamrī, who was a spiritual guide to Imam Abū Ḥanīfa, and Sayyid Mūsā al-Jabalī, the illustrious ancestor of the Master of Both Worlds (Ghawth al-Thaqalayn, ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī), and Sayyid Idrīs al-Maghribī, ancestor of Sayyid Abu al-Ḥasan ath-Thānī Mufaḍḍal al-Imāmī of the islands of the sea, and Sayyid Nāṣir ad-Dīn Sulaymān, ancestor of the Nāṣiriyyah family, and Sayyid Yaḥyā Aḥmad al-Mahdī, martyr and teacher of Imam Mālik.

His noble mother was Zaynab bint Ḥusayn Fāris, from the descendants of Abū Bakr as-Ṣiddīq; some say from the descendants of Zayd ash-Shahīd, son of Imam Zayn al-ʿĀbidīn. They resided in Jīlān.

The praises and virtues of that lofty and exalted noble one have been stated in the heavens of glory. No human being is capable of writing his full praise; even the jinn, mankind, earth and heavens, angels, and the eighteen thousand worlds are unable to encompass his description. And the Messenger of both worlds, the essence of Adam's children, the Master of Creation — his pure soul and its Creator (Glorious and Exalted is He, Maker of the heavens and earth) — themselves praise this noble one. No other created being has attained such a station or purity in all existence that after Allah and His Messenger anyone could be described with such attributes or the seat of belovedness. And by such power none has ever become the helper of the world and its inhabitants as he did; may Allah reward him on behalf of all the worlds with a thousand-thousand recompenses of goodness.
It is narrated that from that noble presence eleven honored sons appeared upon the stage of the world.

Ḥasan al-Muthannā had three sons: Muḥammad and Ibrāhīm (both left progeny); the third, Mūsā al-Jun, had two sons — the first without offspring, the second ʿAbd Allāh — and thus there were five sons in total. First Ṣāliḥ, second Yaḥyā, third Sulaymān, fourth Aḥmad — these four left no progeny; fifth Mūsā ath-Thānī, who had one son named Yaḥyā. And that Yaḥyā had one son named Sayyid ʿAbd Allāh, who had a son named Sayyid Abū Ṣāliḥ Mūsā Jangī-Dōst al-Ḥaqq; this Abū Ṣāliḥ had two sons: One — Sayyid ʿAbd Allāh; the other — the Divine Qutb, the Celestial Ghawth, the Helper of Mankind, Sayyid ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Ḥasanī al-Ḥusaynī (may his secret be sanctified).
