Book of Prayer
Primary text
The two supplications recited by Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) are affirmed to be present in the Mushaf (codex) of Ubayy ibn Ka'b. Abu Ubayd narrated via his chain from Urwah that he read these two supplications in Ubayy ibn Ka'b's Mushaf. Ibn Sirin stated that Ubayy inscribed them in his Mushaf up to the statement, 'for surely Your true punishment befalls the disbelievers.'

Linguistically, 'nuhfid' (نحفد) means to hasten or expedite our steps. 'Al-jadd' (الجد) with a kasra on the jim means truth, not play. 'Mulhaq' (ملحق) with a kasra on the ha means one who catches up or is joined to something. While some narrate it with fatha on the ha (meaning Allah joins them to it), the preferred narration uses kasra on the ha. Al-Khallul reported that Al-Thaalab stated that the Arabs use both forms, 'mulhaq' and 'mulhaq,' interchangeably.
