Sami`a sāmi`un biḥamdillāhi wa ḥusni balā'ihi `alaynā.
Rabbanā ṣāḥibnā, wa afḍil `alaynā,
`ā'idhan billāhi minan-nār.
He Who listens has heard that we praise Allah for the good things He gives us.
Our Lord, be with us and bestow Your favor upon us.
I seek the protection of Allah from the Fire.
Reference:
Muslim 4/2086, the meaning of sami`a sāmi`un (who listens has heard) is
that 'a witness has witnessed our praise of Allah due to His blessings and
favor upon us.' It could also be read samma`a sāmi`un, in which case it
means 'one who has heard this statement of mine will convey it to another
and he will say it as well.' This is due to the attention given to the
Thikr (remembrance of Allah) and supplications made during the early
morning hours. The meaning of his saying 'Our Lord, be with us and bestow
Your favor upon us' is: 'Our Lord, protect us and guard us. Bless us with
Your numerous bounties, and avert from us every evil.' See An-Nawawi, Sharh
Sahih Muslim 17/39.
