حَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، رضى الله عنهما أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ يَقُولُ " اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيَّامُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ وَلِقَاؤُكَ حَقٌّ وَالْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ وَالنَّارُ حَقٌّ وَالسَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ وَإِلَيْكَ حَاكَمْتُ فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ " . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .

Al-Ansari narrated to us; Ma‘n narrated to us; Malik ibn Anas narrated to us, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Tawus, from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) rose to pray in the middle of the night, he would say: ‘O Allah, to You belongs all praise. You are the Light of the heavens and the earth. To You belongs all praise. You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth. To You belongs all praise. You are the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all who are in them. You are the Truth; Your promise is true, meeting You is true, Paradise is true, the Fire is true, and the Hour is true. O Allah, to You I have submitted, in You I have believed, upon You I have relied, to You I have turned, by Your aid I have contended, and to You I have referred for judgment. So forgive me what I have sent ahead and what I have left behind, what I have concealed and what I have made public. You are my God; there is no god but You.’ He said: ‘This is a hasan sahih hadith. It has also been narrated through more than one route from Ibn ‘Abbas, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).’

أَنْتَ إِلَهِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ
The supplied English witness contains an ungrammatical and semantically expanded rendering, while the Arabic states plainly: ‘You are my God; there is no god but You.’
Should the witness's malformed expansion be noted as an editorial translation divergence?
