Fortress of the Muslim
Hisn al-Muslim 112
Arabic hadith text
لا إِلـهَ إِلاّ اللهُ الـواحِدُ القَهّـار رَبُّ السَّـمواتِ وَالأرْضِ وَما بَيْـنَهـما العَزيـزُ الغَـفّار
Translation
There is no deity except Allah, the One, the All-Overpowering, Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Almighty, the All-Forgiving.
Translation notes
لا إِلـهَ إِلاّ اللهُ
The witness expands this declaration as ‘There is none worthy of worship but Allah’; the Arabic wording itself says ‘There is no deity except Allah.’
Should the witness’s explanatory worship gloss be included?
