Anas also said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), upon entering the lavatory, would say: ‘O Allah, I seek refuge in You from al-khubuth and al-khaba'ith.’ The Seven transmitted it. 1 — Sahih.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
اَلْخُبُثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ
The Arabic supplication uses terms whose interpretation is rendered in the English witness as ‘devils – males and females’ and alternatively as ‘all offensive and wicked things, evil deeds and evil spirits, etc.’ The source text itself does not include those expansions, and no approved glossary entry was supplied.
Should these terms remain transliterated pending a reviewed glossary decision, or use a specific sourced English rendering?
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ اَلْخُبُثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ
The witness adds interpretive alternatives in parentheses that do not appear in the Arabic block.
Should those alternatives be kept only as an attributed gloss rather than included in the translation?
