Tabahatan (original) (raw)

The Ṭabahatan (Classical Mandaic: ࡈࡀࡁࡀࡕࡀࡄࡀࡍ, lit. 'Our Ancestors') is one of the most commonly recited prayers in Mandaeism, in which the reciter asks for the forgiveness of sins. As a commemoration prayer with a long list of names, the prayer starts with the line ṭab ṭaba lṭabia ("Good is the Good for the Good"). A different version of this prayer is found in DC 42, Šarḥ ḏ-Ṭabahata ("The Scroll of Ṭabahata" [Parents]), which is used during Parwanaya rituals.
