Arabic hadith text

الحمدُ للهِ الذي عافاني في جَسَدي وَرَدّ عَليّ روحي وَأَذِنَ لي بِذِكْرِه

Translation

Praise be to Allah who granted me well-being in my body, returned my soul to me, and granted me leave to remember Him.

Translation notes
  • عافاني في جَسَدي

    The English witness says ‘gave strength to my body,’ while عافاني more directly expresses being granted well-being or soundness.

    Should the witness’s ‘gave strength’ be treated as an acceptable contextual rendering, or should a closer lexical rendering be preferred?
