Fortress of the Muslim
Hisn al-Muslim 122
Arabic hadith text
لَا إلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَظـيمُ الْحَلِـيمْ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ العَـرْشِ العَظِيـمِ، لَا إِلَـهَ إِلَّا اللَّهْ رَبُّ السَّمَـوّاتِ ورّبُّ الأَرْضِ ورَبُّ العَرْشِ الكَـريم
Translation
There is no deity except Allah, the Great, the Forbearing. There is no deity except Allah, Lord of the Mighty Throne. There is no deity except Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth, and Lord of the Noble Throne.
Translation notes
لَا إلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
The witness adds ‘worthy of worship’ to this repeated declaration, while the Arabic states ‘There is no deity except Allah.’
Should the witness’s explanatory worship gloss be included?
