Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمَّارٍ الدُّهْنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ قَوَائِمَ مِنْبَرِي هَذَا رَوَاتِبُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ " .
Translation
Qutaybah reported to us. He said: Sufyan narrated to us, from 'Ammar al-Duhni, from Abu Salamah, from Umm Salamah, that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'The supports of this pulpit of mine are in Paradise.'
Translation notes
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ قَوَائِمَ مِنْبَرِي هَذَا رَوَاتِبُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ " .
The word rawatib characterizes the supports in an uncommon way; the plain sense is that they are firmly established or rooted in Paradise.
Should the established English wording retain a stronger sense of their being rooted or fixed in Paradise?
