Fortress of the Muslim
Hisn al-Muslim 113
Arabic hadith text
أَعـوذُ بِكَلِمـاتِ اللّهِ التّـامّـاتِ مِن غَضَـبِهِ وَعِـقابِهِ وَشَـرِّ عِبـادِهِ وَمِنْ هَمَـزاتِ الشَّـياطينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضـرون
Translation
I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His anger, His punishment, and the evil of His servants, and from the promptings of the devils and their presence.
Translation notes
وَمِنْ هَمَـزاتِ الشَّـياطينِ
The witness renders hamazāt as ‘taunts’; the Arabic can convey the devils’ incitements or promptings.
Which English rendering best preserves the sense of hamazāt here?
