What to say when returning from a journey and entering one’s home

I say that tawban tawbā is asking for tawbah, ‘to turn towards’. It is in the accusative case either by being connected to the implicit [phrases] ‘turn to us’ (tub ‘alaynā tawbā) or ‘we ask You for repentance’ (nas’aluka tawbā). The word awbā is in the same sense and takes its meaning from the verb āba, meaning ‘he returned’. The phrase ‘not leaving’ means ‘not discarding’ and the word ḥawbā’, meaning ‘sin’ (ithm), and is written with a fatḥah on the ḥā’ or with a ḍammah (ḥūban).
