The Ṭabahatan (ࡈࡀࡁࡀࡄࡀࡕࡀࡍ|lit=Our Ancestors[1]) 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 (ࡈࡀࡁ ࡈࡀࡁࡀ ࡋࡈࡀࡁࡉࡀ|lit=Good is the Good for the Good). 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.[1]
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).[2] The Šal Šulta (Prayer 171) directly follows the Ṭabahatan prayer.[3]
Drower's (1959) version of the Tabahatan lists the following uthras and ancestors.[2]
