Fortress of the Muslim

Hisn al-Muslim 154

Arabic hadith text

إِنّا للهِ وَإِنَا إِلَـيْهِ راجِعـون ، اللهُـمِّ اْجُـرْني في مُصـيبَتي، وَاخْلُـفْ لي خَيْـراً مِنْـها

Translation

We belong to Allah, and to Him we return. O Allah, grant me reward for my affliction and replace it for me with something better.

Translation notes
  • اْجُـرْني في مُصـيبَتي

    The witness renders this as ‘take me out of my plight’; the Arabic asks Allah to reward the speaker in the affliction.

    Should the meaning of reward or the witness’s wording about deliverance be used?
