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?
