Arabic hadith text

سُبْحـانَكَ اللّهُـمَّ وَبِحَمدِك أَشْهَـدُ أَنْ لا إِلهَ إِلاّ أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتوبُ إِلَـيْك

Translation

Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. I bear witness that there is no god but You. I ask Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.

Translation notes
  • أَشْهَـدُ أَنْ لا إِلهَ إِلاّ أَنْتَ

    The witness supplies ‘worthy of worship,’ an interpretive gloss not explicit in the Arabic phrase.

    Should the worship qualification be retained as an interpretive gloss, or should the closer wording be used?
