Virtues of the Quran's Chapters and Verses
Special Virtues of the Qur'an's Chapters and Verses 90
عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَلَمْ تَرَ آيَاتٍ أُنْزِلَتِ اللَّيْلَةَ لَمْ يُرَ مِثْلُهُنَّ قَطُّ ( قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ) وَ ( قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ) ".
ʿUqbah ibn ʿĀmir reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Have you not seen verses revealed tonight the like of which has never been seen? “Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak” (Sūrat al-Falaq) and “Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind” (Sūrat an-Nās).’
Translation notes
" أَلَمْ تَرَ آيَاتٍ أُنْزِلَتِ اللَّيْلَةَ لَمْ يُرَ مِثْلُهُنَّ قَطُّ ( قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ) وَ ( قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ) ".
The Arabic says that verses were revealed that night and that their like had never been seen; the English witness specifies that they were revealed to the Prophet (‘to me’).
Should the witness’s added first-person detail be excluded from the translation?
