Arabic hadith text

(بِسْمِ الله) اللّهُـمَّ إِنِّـي أَعـوذُ بِـكَ مِـنَ الْخُـبْثِ وَالْخَبائِث

Translation

In the name of Allah. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from evil and the evil ones.

Translation notes
  • مِـنَ الْخُـبْثِ وَالْخَبائِث

    The witness supplies an alternative interpretation, ‘the evil male and female jinn,’ for the Arabic terms; the short Arabic wording does not itself spell out that identification.

    Should this wording be understood generically as evil and evil ones, or specifically as male and female jinn?
