Fortress of the Muslim
Hisn al-Muslim 30
اللّهُـمَّ رَبَّ جِـبْرائيل ، وَميكـائيل ، وَإِسْـرافيل، فاطِـرَ السَّمواتِ وَالأَرْض ، عالـِمَ الغَيْـبِ وَالشَّهـادَةِ أَنْـتَ تَحْـكمُ بَيْـنَ عِبـادِكَ فيـما كانوا فيهِ يَخْتَلِفـون. اهدِنـي لِمـا اخْتُـلِفَ فيـهِ مِنَ الْحَـقِّ بِإِذْنِك ، إِنَّـكَ تَهْـدي مَنْ تَشـاءُ إِلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقـيم
O Allah, Lord of Gabriel, Michael, and Israfil, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen: You judge between Your servants concerning that over which they differ. Guide me, by Your permission, to the truth concerning that over which they have differed. Surely You guide whom You will to a straight path.
Translation notes
اللّهُـمَّ رَبَّ جِـبْرائيل ، وَميكـائيل ، وَإِسْـرافيل،
The witness appends ‘(great angels),’ a parenthetical description absent from the Arabic unit.
Is this an editorial gloss from outside the unit, and should it be excluded from a translation of the Arabic text?
