Fortress of the Muslim
Hisn al-Muslim 40
مِلْءَ السَّمـواتِ وَمِلْءَ الأَرْض، وَما بَيْـنَهُمـا ، وَمِلْءَ ما شِئْـتَ مِنْ شَيءٍ بَعْـد . أَهـلَ الثَّـناءِ وَالمَجـد ، أََحَـقُّ ما قالَ العَبْـد ، وَكُلُّـنا لَكَ عَـبد . اللّهُـمَّ لا مانِعَ لِما أَعْطَـيْت ، وَلا مُعْطِـيَ لِما مَنَـعْت ، وَلا يَنْفَـعُ ذا الجَـدِّ مِنْـكَ الجَـد
[Praise] filling the heavens and the earth and what lies between them, and filling whatever else You will. O Possessor of praise and glory, the most rightful thing a servant says—and we are all Your servants. O Allah, none can withhold what You give, nor give what You withhold; and no person's good fortune can avail him against You.
Translation notes
أَهـلَ الثَّـناءِ وَالمَجـد ، أََحَـقُّ ما قالَ العَبْـد ، وَكُلُّـنا لَكَ عَـبد .
The compressed syntax links ‘Possessor of praise and glory,’ ‘the most rightful thing the servant says,’ and ‘we are all Your servants’ without an explicit verb in this source text.
How should these clauses be punctuated and connected while preserving their source wording?
وَلا يَنْفَـعُ ذا الجَـدِّ مِنْـكَ الجَـد
The repeated word الجَدّ has several contextual senses; the English witness chooses ‘might of the mighty person,’ while fortune, status, or wealth are also possible renderings.
Which contextual sense of الجَدّ is supported for both occurrences here?
