Fortress of the Muslim
Hisn al-Muslim 7
Arabic hadith text
تُبْـلي وَيُـخْلِفُ اللهُ تَعَالى
Translation
May you wear it out, and may Allah Most High replace it.
Translation notes
تُبْـلي وَيُـخْلِفُ اللهُ تَعَالى
The witness supplies ‘when it is worn out’ as an explicit temporal clause; the Arabic instead says ‘you wear it out, and Allah replaces [it].’
Is the witness’s temporal wording an acceptable implicit interpretation, or should the direct wording be retained?
