Fortress of the Muslim
Hisn al-Muslim 133
Arabic hadith text
يَسْتَعِيذُ بِاللَّهِ. يَنْتَهِي عَمَّا شك فِيهِ.
Translation
He seeks refuge in Allah. He stops dwelling on those doubts.
Translation notes
يَنْتَهِي عَمَّا شك فِيهِ
The witness changes the third-person statement into an instruction: ‘you should desist from doing what you are in doubt about.’
Should the Arabic declarative form be retained, or rendered as an instruction as in the witness?
