حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي مُسْلِمُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ قَالَ‏:‏ اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْنِي وَسَلِّمْ مِنِّي‏.‏

  • اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْنِي وَسَلِّمْ مِنِّي

    The Arabic has two coordinated requests: protection for the speaker and protection from the speaker; the English witness interprets the second as protection for companions accompanying him.

    Should the second request be rendered as keeping others safe from the speaker rather than protecting those with him?
