Arabic hadith text
وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: لَأَنْ أَقُولَ (سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ)، أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمسُ.
Translation
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: For me to say Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no deity but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest is dearer to me than everything over which the sun rises.
Translation notes
مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمسُ
The witness adds the explanatory gloss “the whole world,” which is not explicit in the source wording.
Should that gloss remain editorial rather than be included in translation?
