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?
