Fortress of the Muslim
Hisn al-Muslim 145
(بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي الْمَوْهُوبِ لَكَ، وَشَكَرْتَ الْوَاهِبَ، وَبَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ، وَرُزِقْتَ بِرَّهُ). وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمُهَــــــنَّأُ فَيَقُولُ: (بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكَ، وَجَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْراً، وَرَزَقَكَ اللَّهُ مِثْلَهُ، وَأَجْزَلَ ثَوَابَكَ).
“May Allah bless you with what has been bestowed upon you, may you give thanks to the Giver, may the child reach maturity, and may you be granted his righteousness.”
The person being congratulated replies, saying: “May Allah bless you and bestow blessing upon you, reward you with good, grant you the like of it, and increase your reward abundantly.”
Translation notes
وَشَكَرْتَ الْوَاهِبَ
The witness explicitly adds ‘you (the new parent)’ in a parenthesis; the Arabic addresses the listener without this explanatory label.
Should the contextual label ‘new parent’ be included only in a separate note, or omitted from the translation?
