Fortress of the Muslim
Hisn al-Muslim 208
أللّـهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّـمواتِ السّـبْعِ وَما أَظْلَلَـن، وَرَبَّ الأَراضيـنَ السّـبْعِ وَما أقْلَلْـن، وَرَبَّ الشَّيـاطينِ وَما أَضْلَلْـن، وَرَبَّ الرِّياحِ وَما ذَرَيْـن، أَسْـأَلُـكَ خَيْـرَ هذهِ الْقَـرْيَةِ وَخَيْـرَ أَهْلِـها، وَخَيْـرَ ما فيها، وَأَعـوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَـرِّها وَشَـرِّ أَهْلِـها، وَشَـرِّ ما فيها
O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and whatever they shade, Lord of the seven earths and whatever they bear, Lord of the devils and those they lead astray, and Lord of the winds and what they scatter: I ask You for the good of this town, its people, and what is in it, and I seek refuge in You from its evil, the evil of its people, and the evil of what is in it.
Translation notes
وَرَبَّ الأَراضيـنَ السّـبْعِ وَما أقْلَلْـن
The witness renders al-aradin as “worlds,” while the Arabic says “earths/lands.”
Should “earths” be retained in line with the source, or is “worlds” an established rendering here?
