Hisn al-Muslim 157

Arabic hadith text

اللهُـمِّ اغْفِـرْ لِحَيِّـنا وَمَيِّتِـنا، وَشـاهِدِنا وَغائِبِـنا ، وَصَغيـرِنا وَكَبيـرِنا ، وَذَكَـرِنا وَأُنْثـانا . اللهُـمِّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْـتَهُ مِنّا فَأَحْيِـهِ عَلى الإِسْلام ، وَمَنْ تَوَفَّـيْتَهُ مِنّا فَتَوَفَّـهُ عَلى الإِيـمان ، اللهُـمِّ لا تَحْـرِمْنـا أَجْـرَه ، وَلا تُضِـلَّنا بَعْـدَه

Translation

O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those of us who are present and absent, our young and our old, our males and our females. O Allah, whoever among us You keep alive, keep him alive upon Islam, and whoever among us You cause to die, cause him to die upon faith. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward, and do not lead us astray after him.

Translation notes
  • اللهُـمِّ لا تَحْـرِمْنـا أَجْـرَه

    The Arabic has the singular pronoun ‘his’; the English witness renders this as ‘their reward.’

    Should the singular pronoun be preserved or rendered as a collective plural?
