Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ فِي صَلاَةٍ مَا دَامَتِ الصَّلاَةُ تَحْبِسُهُ، وَالْمَلاَئِكَةُ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ‏.‏ مَا لَمْ يَقُمْ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ أَوْ يُحْدِثْ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Ibrahim ibn al-Mundhir narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Fulayh narrated to us: My father narrated to us, from Hilal ibn ʿAli, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Abi ʿAmra, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: ‘A person among you is in prayer as long as the prayer keeps him waiting, and the angels say, “O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him,” so long as he does not leave his prayer or invalidate his ablution.’

Translation notes
  • The English witness specifies passing wind as the invalidating act; the Arabic says generally ‘commit an invalidating act.’
