Arabic hadith text

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ، وَاتْفُلْ عَلَى يَسَارِكَ (ثلاثاً)

Translation

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed, and spit lightly to your left three times.

Translation notes
  • أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ،

    The witness adds ‘Say:’ and describes the following act as blowing with a little spittle; it also specifies ‘reciting in Arabic’ for the repetition. The Arabic states the refuge phrase and spitting to the left three times.

    Should the witness’s imperative framing and added language instruction be included?
