Tabahatan


The Ṭabahatan, also known as the Abahatan Qadmaiia, 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 l-ṭabia. A different version of this prayer is found in DC 42, Šarḥ ḏ-Ṭabahata, which is used during Parwanaya rituals.
The Ṭabahatan prayer is numbered as Prayer 170 in E. S. Drower's version of the Qulasta, which was based on manuscript 53 of the Drower Collection. The Šal Šulta directly follows the Ṭabahatan prayer.
