Hisn al-Muslim 17
Arabic hadith text
اللّهُـمَّ إِنِّـي أَعـوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَضِـلَّ أَوْ أُضَـل ، أَوْ أَزِلَّ أَوْ أُزَل ، أَوْ أَظْلِـمَ أَوْ أَُظْلَـم ، أَوْ أَجْهَلَ أَوْ يُـجْهَلَ عَلَـيّ
Translation
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from going astray or being led astray, from slipping or being made to slip, from wronging or being wronged, and from acting foolishly or having foolishness committed against me.
Translation notes
أَنْ أَضِـلَّ أَوْ أُضَـل ، أَوْ أَزِلَّ أَوْ أُزَل ،
The witness specifies ‘others’ as the agents or recipients in these paired active and passive clauses, while the Arabic does not state those objects explicitly.
Are the explicit ‘others’ relations warranted by context for each pair, or should the translation preserve the Arabic’s unexpressed agents?
