InMandaeism, Shatrin (Classical Mandaic: ࡔࡀࡕࡓࡉࡍ, romanized: Šatrin) is a heavenly tree mentioned in the Scroll of Abatur.[1] Shatrin is where the souls of unbaptized Mandaean children are temporarily nourished for 30 days. On the 30th day, Hibil Ziwa baptizes the souls of the children, who then continue on to the World of Light. The tree has a length of 360,000 parasangs according to the Scroll of Abatur.[2]

An 18th-century manuscript of the Scroll of Abatur in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. The illustration on top depicts the ship Shahrat ferrying Mandaean souls towards the house of Abatur, while the lower illustration shows the tree of Shatrin with the souls of unbaptized children.

MS. Borgiani Siriaci 175 (held at the Vatican Library) and Drower Collection MS. 8 (held at the Bodleian LibraryinOxford), two different manuscripts of the Scroll of Abatur, have illustrations of Shatrin that differ from those of each other.[3]
