Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَجْزَأَةَ بْنِ زَاهِرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَدْعُو ‏‏"‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْنِي مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا اللَّهُمَّ نَقِّنِي مِنْهَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْنِي بِالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَالْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ ‏‏"‏‏ ‏‏.‏‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Ibrahim informed us: Bishr ibn al-Mufaddal narrated to us: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Majza'ah ibn Zahir, who heard 'Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa relating from the Prophet (ﷺ), that he used to supplicate: 'O Allah, purify me from sins and errors. O Allah, cleanse me of them as a white garment is cleansed of filth. O Allah, purify me with snow, hail, and cold water.'

Translation notes
  • The full chain is included although the English witness begins with 'Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa. The Arabic prayer includes 'errors' as well as 'sins'.

  • أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،

    The English witness omits the chain and renders the prayer's first phrase with 'error' singular.

    Please verify the chain and the plural wording 'sins and errors' against the Arabic.
