تَجَاوَزَ عَنْ (tajaawaza 3an)

[uas60]

Hi all and assalaamu alaykum!

This is hadith 39 in the famous Arba3een an-Nawawiyyah, and I'm wondering how best to understand the word "tajaawaza":

عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رسولَ اللهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - قَالَ: إنَّ اللَّهَ تَجَاوَزَ لِي عَنْ أُمَّتِي الْخَطَأَ وَالنِّسْيَانَ وَمَا اسْتُكْرِهُوا عَلَيْهِ

To me, it seems like the meaning is that of "overlooked" or "pardoned" but does the word actually translate as "permitted"?

 

[ayed]

it means to forgive

 

[Ali Smith]

So, if تَجَاوَزَ الْخَطَأَ وَالنِّسْيَانَ وَمَا اسْتُكْرِهُوا عَلَيْهِ means "He forgave the mistake and the forgetting and what they are forced to (do)", what does عن add to the meaning of the verb?

 

[Sadda7]

No, without عن it doesn't mean forgive.

 

[djara]

تَجَاوَزَ لِي عَنْ أُمَّتِي الْخَطَأَ وَالنِّسْيَانَ
تَجَاوَزَ overlooked
لِي for my sake
عَنْ attributes the mistakes and forgetfulness to the umma
A possible translation could be:
For my sake, He overlooked any mistakes and forgetfulness that may have been committed by my nation

 

[Mahaodeh]

No, without عن it doesn't mean forgive.

I agree in terms of meaning, I’m just wondering what the إعراب of الخطأَ is. It’s منصوب so it seems on the surface that it’s مفعول به, but that would change the meaning, wouldn’t it?

 

[Ali Smith]

How would it change the meaning if it were taken as the verb's مفعول به?

 

[𐎂𐎍𐎐𐎗 𐎃𐎐4]

It would mean "crossed"

تجاوزت الخط
I crossed the line.

 

[𒍑 𒉺𒋼𒋛 𒄑𒆵𒆠𒆤 𒉆 𒅗]

Do you think crossed fits the meaning here???
