Shahid means the One who witnesses all things. Witnessing here is not limited to seeing; it also includes bearing witness on the Day of Judgment. It declares that no deed is without a witness; even what is done in secret has a witness.
In the Quran: Surah al-Hajj, verse 17, says: “Indeed, Allah is Witness over all things.”
It means the One who sees, knows and witnesses all things. It comes from the same root as the word “shahid” (martyr); the martyr is also regarded as one who bears witness to the truth.
It is commonly recited with the intention of truthfulness and protection from heedlessness.
