Arabic hadith text
وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: أَحَبُّ الْكَلاَمِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَرْبَعٌ: (سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ)، وَ(الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ)، وَ(لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ)، وَ(اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ)، لاَ يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأتَ
Translation
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The most beloved words to Allah are four: Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no deity but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. It does not matter which of them you begin with.”
Translation notes
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ
The English witness adds “worthy of worship,” an interpretive gloss absent from this Arabic wording.
Should this expansion be noted for editorial review?
