قَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْخَيْرِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ رَابَطَ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَانَ لَهُ كَأَجْرِ صِيَامِ شَهْرٍ وَقِيَامِهِ وَمَنْ مَاتَ مُرَابِطًا أُجْرِيَ لَهُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الأَجْرِ وَأُجْرِيَ عَلَيْهِ الرِّزْقُ وَأَمِنَ مِنَ الْفَتَّانِ " .
Al-Harith ibn Miskin recited to us while I listened, from Ibn Wahb, who reported to me, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Shurayh, from Abd al-Karim ibn al-Harith, from Abu Ubaydah ibn Uqbah, from Shurahbil ibn al-Simt, from Salman al-Khayr, from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: Whoever is stationed in the cause of Allah for a day and a night will have the reward of fasting for a month and standing in prayer during it. Whoever dies while stationed will continue to receive the same reward, his provision will continue, and he will be safe from the trial.
Translation notes
Ribat is remaining stationed in defense in the cause of Allah. The final term الفَتَّان is rendered generally as the trial because the source does not specify which trial.
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ رَابَطَ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَانَ لَهُ كَأَجْرِ صِيَامِ شَهْرٍ وَقِيَامِهِ وَمَنْ مَاتَ مُرَابِطًا أُجْرِيَ لَهُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الأَجْرِ وَأُجْرِيَ عَلَيْهِ الرِّزْقُ وَأَمِنَ مِنَ الْفَتَّانِ " .
The term الفَتَّان can refer to a trial or tempter; the source does not explain the intended referent here.
Confirm whether to retain the general rendering the trial or use a specific established meaning.
