Arabic hadith text

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْهُ

Translation

O Allah, forgive him. O Allah, make him steadfast.

Translation notes
  • اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْهُ

    The witness renders thabbit as ‘strengthen him’; the Arabic more directly asks that he be made firm or steadfast.

    Should thabbit be rendered as ‘make him steadfast’ or as ‘strengthen him’?
