In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

and may prayers and peace be upon the noblest of the prophets and messengers,

Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions altogether.

A message to our enemies, the Houthis, We say to them: Here is Marib.

So bring your cavalry and your infantry.

By God, the One besides whom there is no deity,

you will gain from it nothing but what you have already experienced.

And we swear to you by God that we will make the massacres, slaughters,

and burnings you suffered at its walls,

which you know as well as you know your own children,

the beginning of what is coming, by God’s permission.

And the days between us will tell, so come. And if you do not come,

then by God, we will surely come to you with forces you cannot withstand.

And we will drive you out of Sanaa humiliated and you will be utterly subdued,

by God’s permission.

And we are not asking when victory will come, for victory, by God’s permission,

will come even if it is delayed.

It is only our sins that defer it.

And by the permission of the One,

the Unique, God will forgive us and will set our affairs right.

And we will exact retribution for the nation of Islam,

for Ahl al- Sunnah wal- Jama‘ah,

and for the Companions may God be pleased with them. And before them,

for the Mother of the Believers,

and for the honor of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

So await what will distress you. And say to those who do not… Say,“ Act according to

your position, for we are acting. And wait, for we too are waiting.”
