Hezbollah publishes a “Message from the fighters of the Islamic Resistance to His Eminence the Secretary-General, our most sacred and exalted martyr, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, may his noble essence be sanctified”:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
His Eminence the Secretary-General, our most sacred and exalted martyr, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, may your noble essence be sanctified.
Peace be upon you, our master, peace be upon you, our beloved, peace be upon your noble head as a fighting leader, and peace be upon your soul as a sincere martyr. Peace be upon you from the positions of our artillery, from the barrages of our rockets, and from our Husseini fists which have always, still are, and will always continue to be, clenched on the trigger, through which Allah Almighty strikes the corruptors in His land and the killers of His prophets and servants.

O our master, the beloved of our hearts, we thank Allah Almighty who has blessed us with the grace of Jihad in His cause under your leadership, honored us with your acquaintance, living in your time, and dignified us to follow you in the footsteps of your grandfather, Imam Hussein, the martyr, peace be upon him, to fight the enemies of Allah and humanity in defense of the oppressed and the downtrodden, liberating the land, and protecting our dear people.
O our Sayyed and the beloved of our hearts, our souls will bear witness before Allah Almighty that you have delivered the trust and kept the covenant that you made and we made with you, and patiently endured in anticipation. You led us from victory to victory until your noble soul overflowed to join the long caravan of your beloved martyrs, the fighters, and the leaders.

For so long, O our Sayyed, we have chanted with our voices and hearts in the fields of jihad, “At your service, O Nasrallah.” For so long, we have echoed behind you the call to reject humiliation: “Verily, the illegitimate son of the illegitimate father has made us choose between two things: between battle and humiliation, and never to humiliation!” For so long, we have stood by you in the stance of the supporters of your grandfather, Hussein (peace be upon him), when he told them, “This night has enveloped you, so take it as a camel [a means to escape].” And today we say to you: why would we do that? To remain after you? By Allah, even if we knew that we would be killed, burned, and scattered in the air a thousand times, we would not abandon your path, nor forsake the covenant we made with you.

O His Eminence, the Secretary-General, the greatest jihadist leader, the leader of the caravan of fighters, martyrdom-seekers, and martyrs of the march of Hezbollah’s path of jihad and resistance, the supporter of the oppressed and the free of the world, may Allah not sweeten life for us after you… We swear by your noble soul from the borders of Palestine where you went as a martyr on its path, and from the sites of the Islamic Resistance across the homeland, that we, by Allah, will remain bound to our covenant, and on our promise, until we achieve your hopes and goals, no matter how great the sacrifices.

As for the arrogant, delusional enemy, we say: The days and nights and the battlefield are between us. You will meet us as skilled archers, from where you expect and where you do not expect.

And to our patient, noble, and loyal people, we say: We swear by the groans of the tormented and by the torn limbs, the killer will not be safe from our wrath and our revenge, nor will he weaken our resolve. The banner will not fall from our hands. This is our covenant, our promise, and our oath. And as you have always promised us victory, we promise you victory again…

Your loyal sons; the fighters of the Islamic Resistance.
