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 ("The Scroll of Ṭabahata" [Parents]), 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 (abbreviated DC 53). The Šal Šulta (Prayer 171) directly follows the Ṭabahatan prayer.
Prayer Drower (1959) version Drower's (1959) version of the Tabahatan lists the following uthras and ancestors. Each name is followed by the phrase ('forgiveness of sins be there for him' (singular); ) or ('forgiveness of sins be there for them' (plural); ). Note that different versions of the Tabahatan may contain lists of names that vary significantly; for example, Salem Choheili recites a significantly different version.
Salem Choheili version The sections for the names of Mandaeans (mandaiia), priests (tarmidia), and ganzibria from Salem Choheili's version differ from those of Drower (1959). The remaining sections are nearly identical. Below is the Mandaic transliteration for the sections that differ from Drower's (1959) version.
