Hisn al-Muslim 17
((اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ رَكَعْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، خَشَعَ لَكَ سَمْعِي، وَبَصَرِي، وَمُخِّي، وَعَــــظْمِي، وَعَصَبِي، [وَمَا استَقَلَّتْ بِهِ قَدَمِي])).
(Allahumma laka rakaAAt, wabika amant, walaka aslamt, khashaAAa laka samAAee, wabasaree, wamukhkhee, waAAathmee, waAAasabee, wamas-taqalla bihi qadamee.)
(O Allah, unto You I have bowed, and in You I have believed, and to You I have submitted. My hearing, sight, mind, bones, tendons and what my feet carry are humbled before You.)

Three parallel statements open it, each ending in the same place: to You I have bowed, in You I have believed, to You I have submitted. The second half then itemises where it could have summarised. Rather than saying the whole self is humbled, it lists parts — hearing, sight, mind, bones, tendons — and finishes with a phrase that catches whatever the list omits: what my feet carry. All of it is said to be humbled before Him.
The chapter places these words in the bowing.
The list runs from faculties to structure — senses, then mind, then bone and tendon. Its final item names no body part at all and gathers up everything the enumeration left out.
About these notesThe notes above explain the wording of the supplication as it is translated on this page. They add no commentary, history or ruling beyond it.
