Mistakes in Darussalam Translations

October 20, 2026October 20, 2026 Salafi Knowledge al-Tirmidhi, al-Tirmidhi (2952), Darussalam Translations, Hadith, Hadith Translation Errors, Ibn 'Abbas, Ibn Mas'ud, Mujahid, Qur'an, Qur'anic Exegesis, Sunnah, Tafsir, Translation Errors

In the Name of Allāh, all praise is due to Allāh, may praise and protection be upon the Messenger of Allāh.

To proceed: this particular post highlights mistakes I have come across in Darussalam translations of ḥadīth works. I will keep adding to this whenever I come across more if Allāh wills.

[1] al-Tirmidhī (5: 276, no. 2952):

Mujāhid’s words should be in the first person and not second person.

The correct translation is:

Mujāhid said, “If I had recited the recitation of Ibn Masʿūd, I would not have needed to ask Ibn ʿAbbās about much of what I asked him regarding the Qurʾān.”

Upon entering the marketplace, it is recommended for one to read the following supplication [in green]:

On the authority of ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb [who narrated] that the Messenger of Allāh, may the praise and protection of Allāh be upon him, said:

“Whoever enters the marketplace and says, ‘There is none worthy of worship except Allāh alone without any partners, to Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, He gives life and causes death, He is the All-Living and does not die, in His Hand is all goodness, and He has power over all things’, Allāh will write a million good deeds for him, and wipe a million evil deeds away from him, and raise a million ranks for him.”
