Question

I read in Sunnats by Mufti Saheb

"8.19. It is reported that Nabi used to say “YA WA SI ‘UL MUGFIRAH” after eating the first morsel - Which means, “O! The one whose forgiveness is all encompassing.” (Muslim - S.K. - Vol. 1 : Pg. 227)"

Is this with a zabar on the ayn or a pesh?

If you write the arabic with it it will be better Insha Allah.

Answer

It is with a zabar.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
