Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ خَطَايَاىَ بِمَاءِ الثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَنَقِّ قَلْبِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ishaq ibn Ibrahim informed us: Jarir informed us, from Hisham ibn 'Urwah, from his father, from 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: O Allah, wash away my sins with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart of sins as You cleanse a white garment of filth.

Translation notes
  • The English witness duplicates the phrase about cleansing the heart with snow and hail; that repetition is not present in Arabic.

  • قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ خَطَايَاىَ بِمَاءِ الثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَنَقِّ قَلْبِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ ‏"‏ ‏.

    The Arabic says to wash away sins with the water of snow and hail, then to cleanse the heart of sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. The English witness repeats 'snow and hail' in the second clause.

    Please confirm the Arabic reading and whether the duplicated phrase in English is a typographical error.

  • أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،

    The English witness omits Ishaq ibn Ibrahim, Jarir, Hisham ibn Urwah, and his father from the chain.

    Please confirm the transliteration of the omitted transmitters.
