Hisn al-Muslim 47
Arabic hadith text
اللّهُـمَّ إِنِّـي أَعـوذُ بِرِضـاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِـك ، وَبِمعـافاتِـكَ مِنْ عُقوبَـتِك ، وَأَعـوذُ بِكَ مِنْـك ، لا أُحْصـي ثَنـاءً عَلَـيْك ، أَنْـتَ كَمـا أَثْنَـيْتَ عَلـى نَفْسـِك
Translation
O Allah, I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger, and in Your protection from Your punishment. I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot fully enumerate praise of You; You are as You have praised Yourself.
Translation notes
وَبِمعـافاتِـكَ مِنْ عُقوبَـتِك
The English witness renders معافاتك as ‘Your forgiveness’; the Arabic more directly conveys safety, well-being, or protection.
Should this be rendered as protection/well-being or follow the witness’s ‘forgiveness’?
