Reciting a poem titled: "Plural Marriage."

The questioner : Plural marriage...
"Allah has forbidden fornication among people *** So the lawful spouse suffices for the forbidden.
So marry what is good so that you may be chaste *** And your families may be chaste, for the spouse is a guard.
Every righteous soul is a store for us *** On the day when the crowd becomes tight upon creation.
The Muslim community ruled when *** They multiplied spouses and were honored among people.
And Allah humbled a people who neglected *** The lawful and persisted in the forbidden.
They preferred that the husband commit fornication *** Rather than the co-wife coming from the intensity of passion.
The wicked fought against plural marriage *** And what they forbade in the consorts of the night.
They scattered the children in their orphanhood *** Depriving them of all affection and peace.
The woman became among them a commodity *** Bought every day with food.
They drowned in their open sinfulness and obscenity *** Leaving Islam, the title of order.
Whoever turns away from truth falls *** Whoever returns to truth is upright.
It is the Sunnah of Allah, how just it is *** There is no goal sought after the truth.
Islam permitted the husband to *** Multiply wives, with justice as the leader.
Man possesses clear justice *** In food or drink or sleep.
His heart is free and not owned by *** A substance whose division is difficult to attain.
It is sufficient in it with a treacherous inclination *** Allah does not wish to embarrass people.
The woman accepts the legislation of the heavens *** That is a law worthy of respect.
There is no injustice in Islam, it is *** Pure justice and the balance of perfection.
It freed husbands from their deprivation *** And protected wives from the injustice of the base.
In it, husbands have a clear right *** And upon them is an obligatory commitment in it.
It does not favor anyone in its ruling *** So the judgments are the legislation of harmony.
It tasked husbands with spending on *** Their families, so striving is like sustenance, obligatory.
The woman takes it from him by force *** If he refuses, and the matter is for the imam.
Children are equal in inheritance, just as *** Wives are equal in every division.
The right of the first is like the other, and whoever is unjust *** Comes a loser on the day of the crowd.
Its splitting on the day of the call is tilted *** It did not stand in its justice with proper standing.
The dispensation of plural marriage is given its right *** Whoever deviates from justice is blamed.
The Companions multiplied wives, just as *** The Chosen One and the noble messengers multiplied.
The women did not see in it a defect *** And the matter was upright, indeed order prevailed.
A wife did not oppose her co-wife *** But she prepared food for the bride and groom.
She congratulated her co-wife and submitted *** To the decree of Allah, so harmony increased.
Sawdah preferred her night to *** The daughter of al-Tayyib, out of love for peace.
This is the affair of the Muslim community *** Noble character, justice, and harmony.
Allah established their state for them *** And set the universe in them, so it was upright.
They spread justice and piety on earth *** So the light settled and the darkness lifted.
Their religion is from the fitrah of Allah with which *** He created people and established it.
In it, for man, is healing and guidance *** And life in safety and order.
There is no defect in plural marriage, it is *** A superior feature for perfect legislation.
It does not look away from evil *** Nor does it leave people suffering from illness.
Our honor is in our religion, so let us take heed *** The desire of the enemies is doubt and accusation."
