Fortress of the Muslim

Hisn al-Muslim 214

Arabic hadith text

قَالَ جَابِرٌ رضي الله عنه: (كُنَّا إِذَا صَعَدْنَا كَبَّرْنَا، وَإِذَا نَزَلْنَا سَبَّحْنَا)

Translation

Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, said: Whenever we ascended, we said Allah is the Greatest, and whenever we descended, we glorified Allah.

Translation notes
  • إِذَا صَعَدْنَا كَبَّرْنَا

    The witness specifies going up a hill, while the Arabic simply says ascending.

    Should “a hill” be treated as context supplied by the witness?
