from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that when he used to stand up for Ṣalāh, he said: "I turn my face in complete devotion to One Who is the Originator of the heaven and the earth and I am not of the polytheists. Verily my prayer, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds; There is no partner with Him and this is what I have been commanded (to profess and believe) and I am of the believers. O Allah, Thou art the King, there is no god but Thee, Thou art my Lord, and I am Thy bondman. I wronged myself and make a confession of my Sin. Forgive all my sins, for no one forgives the sins but Thee, and guide me in the best of conduct for none but Thee guideth anyone (in) good conduct. Remove sins from me, for none else but Thou can remove sins from me. Here I am at Thy service, and Grace is to Thee and the whole of good is in Thine hand, and one cannot get nearness to Thee through evil. My (power as well as existence) is due to Thee (Thine grace) and I turn to Thee (for supplication). Thou art blessed and Thou art exalted. I seek forgiveness from Thee and turn to Thee in repentance."

And when he would bow, he would say: "O Allah, it is for Thee that I bowed. I affirm my faith in Thee and I submit to Thee, and submit humbly before Thee my hearing, my eyesight, my marrow, my bone, my sinew; and when he would raise his head, he would say: O Allah, our Lord, praise is due to Thee, (the praise) with which is filled the heavens and the earth, and with which is filled that (space) which exists between them, and filled with anything that Thou desireth afterward. And when he prostrated himself, he (the Holy Prophet) would say: O Allah, it is to Thee that I prostrate myself and it is in Thee that I affirm my faith, and I submit to Thee. My face is submitted before One Who created it, and shaped it, and opened his faculties of hearing and seeing. Blessed is Allah, the best of Creators; and he would then say between Tashahhud and the pronouncing of salutation: Forgive me of the earlier and later open and secret (sins) and that where I made transgression and that Thou knowest better than I. Thou art the First and the Last. There is no god, but Thee."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ قَالَ: «وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِنَّ صَلاَتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ؛ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ۔ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ؛ أَنْتَ رَبِّي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ۔ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي جَمِيعًا؛ إِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ۔ وَاهْدِنِي لأَحْسَنِ الأَخْلاَقِ، لاَ يَهْدِي لأَحْسَنِهَا إِلاَّ أَنْتَ؛ وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا، لاَ يَصْرِفُ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا إِلاَّ أَنْتَ۔ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ، وَالْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ فِي يَدَيْكَ، وَالشَّرُّ لَيْسَ إِلَيْكَ، أَنَا بِكَ وَإِلَيْكَ، تَبَارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ، أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ۔»

وَإِذَا رَكَعَ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ رَكَعْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ خَشَعَ لَكَ سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَمُخِّي وَعَظْمِي وَعَصَبِي وَإِذَا رَفَعَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَمِلْءَ الأَرْضِ وَمِلْءَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ بَعْدُ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ سَجَدْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ سَجَدَ وَجْهِي لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ وَصَوَّرَهُ وَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مِنْ آخِرِ مَا يَقُولُ بَيْنَ التَّشَهُّدِ وَالتَّسْلِيمِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَمَا أَسْرَفْتُ وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ۔»  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started to pray, he would say Takbir, then say: "Wajahtu wajhi lilladhi fataras-samawatiwal-arda hanifan wa ma ana minal-mushrikin. Inna salati wa nusuki wa mahyaya wa mamati lillahi rabbil-alamin, la sharika lahu, wa bidhalika umirtu wa ana min al-muslimin. Allahumma!

(Verily, I have turned my face toward Him who created the Heavens and the Earth hanifa (worhsipping none but Allah Alone), and I am not of the idolaters. Verily, my salah, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the all that exists. He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am one of the Muslims. O Allah, You are the Sovereign and there is none worthy of worship but You. I am Your slave, I have wronged myself and I acknowledge my sin. Forgive me all my sins for no one forgives sins but You. Guide me to the best of manners for none can guide to the best of them but You. Protect me from bad manners for none can protect against them but You. I am at Your service, all goodness is in Your hands, and evil is not attributed to You. I rely on You and turn to You, blessed and exalted are You, I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ كَبَّرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِنَّ صَلاَتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي جَمِيعًا لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَاهْدِنِي لأَحْسَنِ الأَخْلاَقِ لاَ يَهْدِي لأَحْسَنِهَا إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا لاَ يَصْرِفُ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا إِلاَّ أَنْتَ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ وَالْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ فِي يَدَيْكَ وَالشَّرُّ لَيْسَ إِلَيْكَ أَنَا بِكَ وَإِلَيْكَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for prayer, he uttered the takbir (Allah is most great), then said: I have turned my face, breaking with all others, towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and I am not a polytheist. My prayer and my devotion, my life and my death belong to Allah, the Lord of the Universe, Who has no partner. That is what I have been commanded, and I am first of Muslims (those who surrender themselves). O Allah, Thou art the King. There is no God but Thee. Thou art my Lord and I am Thy servant. I have wronged myself, but I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me all my sins; Thou Who alone canst forgive sins; and guide me to the best qualities. Thou Who alone canst guide to the best of them; and turn me from evil ones. Thou who alone canst turn from evil qualities. I come to serve and please Thee. All good is in Thy Hands, and evil does not pertain to Thee. I seek refuge in Thee and turn to Thee, Who art blessed and exalted. I ask Thy forgiveness and turn to thee in repentance. When he bowed, he said: O Allah, to Thee I bow, in Thee I trust, and to Thee I submit myself. My hearing, my sight, my brain, my bone and my sinews humble themselves before Thee. When he raised his head, he said: Allah listens to him who praises Him. O our lord, and all praises be to Thee in the whole of the heavens and the earth, and what is between them, and in whatever Thou creates afterwards. When he prostrated himself, he said: O Allah, to Thee I prostrate myself, to Thee I trust, and to Thee I submit myself. My face prostrated itself before Him Who created it, fashioned it, and fashioned it in the best shape, and brought forth its hearing and seeing. Blessed is Allah, the best of creators. When he saluted at the end of the prayer, he said: O Allah, forgive me my former and my latter sins, my open and secret sins, my sins in exceeding the limits, and what Thou knowest better than I. Thou art He Who puts forward and puts back. There is deity but Thee.

when the Messenger of Allah would stand for the obligatory prayer, he would raise his hands to the level of his shoulder, and he would do this [also] when he finished his recitation and intended to bow, and he would do it when he raised his head from Rukuʿ, and he would not raise his hands in any of his prayers while he was seated. When he would rise from the two prostrations, he would likewise raise his hands, and say the Takbir, and when he opened his Salat after the Takbir, he would say: “I have directed my face towards the One who has created the heavens and the earth, as a Hanif, and I am not of the idolaters. Indeed, my Salat, my sacrifice, my living, my dying, is for Allah, the Lord of all that exists, without partner, and with this have I been ordered and I am of the Muslims. O Allah, You are the King, there is none worthy of worship except You. Glorified are You, You are My Lord, and I am Your slave, I have wronged myself and I admit to my sin, so forgive me all my sins, verily, there is none who forgives sins but You, and guide me to the best of manners, none guides to the best of them except You, and turn away from me the evil of them, none turns away from me the evil of them except You, I am here in Your obedience and aiding Your cause, and I am reliant upon You and ever-turning towards You, [and] there is no refuge from You nor hiding place from You except (going) to You, I seek Your forgiveness, and I repent to you (Wajjahtu wajhiya lilladhī faṭaras-samāwāti wal-arḍa ḥanīfan wa mā ana min al-mushrikīn, inna ṣalātī wa nusukī wa maḥyāya wa mamātī lillāhi rabbil-ʿālamīn, lā sharīka lahū wa bidhālika umirtu wa ana min al-muslimīn.

Labaika wa saʿdaika, wa ana bika wa ilaika, [wa] lā manjā minka wa lā malja’a illā ilaik, astaghfiruka wa atūbu ilaik).” Then he would recite, then when he would bow, his speech in his Rukuʿ, would be to say: “O Allah, to You have I bowed, and in You have I believed, and to You have I submitted (in Islam), and You are my Lord. My hearing, my sight, my brain and my bones are humbled to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds all that exists (Allāhumma laka rakaʿtu wa bika āmantu wa laka aslamtu wa anta rabb ī. Khashaʿa samʿī wa baṣarī wa mukhkhī wa ʿaẓmī lillāhi, rabbil-ʿālamīn).” Then, when he raised his head from Ruku he would say: “Allah hears the one who praises him (Samiʿa Allāhu liman ḥamidah).” Then he would follow it with: “O Allah, our Lord, to You is praise filling the heavens and the earth and filling whatever You wish of things afterward (Allāhumma rabbanā wa lakal-ḥamdu mil’as-samāwāti wal-arḍi, wa mil’a mā shi’ta min shay’in baʿd.).” Then, when prostrated he would say in his prostration: “O Allah, to You have I prostrated, and in You have I believed, and to You have I submitted (in Islam), and You are my Lord, my face has prostrated to the One that created it, and granted its hearing and sight, Blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators (Allāhumma laka sajadtu wa bika āmantu wa laka aslamtu wa anta rabbī, sajada wajhi lilladhī khalaqahū wa shaqqa samʿahū wa baṣarahū, tabārak Allāhu ahsanul-khāliqīn).” When he was finished with his Salat, we would say: “O Allah, forgive me what I have done, before and after, and what I have hidden, and what I have done openly, and You are my Deity, there is none worthy of worship except You (Allāhummaghfirlī mā qaddamtu wa mā akhkhartu wa mā asrartu wa mā aʿlantu, wa anta ilāhī lā ilāha illā ant).”

“I have turned my face in submission to the One Who originated the heavens and the earth, as a monotheist and I am not one of the mushrikeen. Verily, my Salah (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists). He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims, O Allah, You are the Sovereign, there is no god but You. You are my Lord and I am Your slave. I have wronged myself and I admit my sin, so forgive me all my sins, for no one can forgive sins except You. O Allah, guide me to the best of conduct, for none can guide to that except You; divert from me the worst of conduct, for none can divert it except You. Here I am at Your service, all goodness is in Your hand and evil cannot be attributed to You. My existence is due to You and my return is to You. Blessed and exalted are You, I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You.ʿ When he bowed, he said: ʿO Allah, to You I have bowed, in You I have believed and to You I have submitted. My hearing, my sight, my brain, my bones and my sinews submit to You.ʿ When he rose from bowing he said: “Allah hears the one who praises Him. O Allah our Lord, to You be praise, filling the heavens, filling the earth, filling that which is between them and filling whatever else You will besides.ʿ When he prostrated he said: “O Allah, to You I have prostrated, in You I have believed and to You I have submitted. My face has prostrated to the One Who created it and gave it shape and gave it the best of shapes, and opened its hearing and sight, Blessed be Allah, the Best of creators.ʿ When he had finished praying he said: ʿO Allah, forgive me my past and future sins, what I have done in secret and what I have done openly, what I have transgressed and what You know more than I. You are the One who brings forward and the One Who puts back, there is no god but You.ʿ ʿAbdullah said: We heard from Ishaq bin Rahawaih, from an-Nadr bin Shumail, that he said concerning this hadeeth, instead of, ʿevil cannot be attributed to You,” he said: Evil cannot be used to draw close to You. It was narrated from ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ , from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, that When he began to pray, he said takbeer, then he said, ʿI have turned my face.ʿ - and he narrated a similar report, except that he said ʿand divert from me the worst of conduct.” A similar report was narrated from Al-Aʿraj, from ʿUbaidullah bin Abi Rafiʿ, from ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ , from the Prophet ﷺ.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say when he stood up to pray, "Allahu Akbar, I have directed my face towards the One who created the heavens and the earth, purely submitting to Him, and I am not of those who associate partners with Allah. Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds, who has no partner. And with that I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims. O Allah, You are the King, there is no deity but You. Glory be to You, and praise be to You." Then he recited, and when he bowed he said, "O Allah, to You I have bowed, and in You I have believed, and to You I have submitted. You are my Lord, I have bowed for You, and my hearing, my sight, my flesh and my blood have bowed for Allah, the Lord of the worlds." Then he raised his head and said, "Allah hears the one who praises Him. Our Lord, to You is the praise, filling the heavens and the earth and whatever You will of anything after that." And when he prostrated he said, "O Allah, to You I have prostrated, and in You I have believed, and to You I have submitted. You are my Lord, I have prostrated for You, and my face has prostrated to the One who created it, shaped it, and opened its hearing and sight. Blessed is Allah, the best of creators."

ʿI have turned my face in submission to the One who originated the heavens and the earth, as a monotheist and a Muslim, and I am not one of the mushrikeen. Verily, my Salah (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the ‘Alameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists). He has no partner, And of this I have been commanded, and I am one of the Muslims [Abun-Nadr said: and I am the first of the Muslims]. O Allah, there is no god but You. You are my Lord and I am Your slave. I have wronged myself and I admit my sin, so forgive me all my sins, for no one can forgive sins except You. Guide me to the best of conduct, for none can guide to that except You and divert from me bad conduct, for no one can divert it from me except You. Blessed and exalted are You, I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You.” When he bowed, he said: ʿO Allah, to You I have bowed, in You I have believed and to You I have submitted. My hearing my sight, my brain, my bones and my sinews submit to You.ʿ When he rose from bowing he said: ʿAllah hears those who praise Him. Our Lord, to You be praise, filling the heavens, the earth and that which is between them and filling whatever else You will besides.” When he prostrated he said: “O Allah, to You I have prostrated, in You I have believed and to You I have submitted. My face has prostrated to the One Who created it, shaped it and gave it a good shape, and opened its hearing and sight. Blessed be Allah, the Best of creators.ʿ Then he after said the salam at the end of the prayer: ʿO Allah, forgive me my past and future sins, what I have done in secret and what I have done openly, what I have transgressed and what You know more than I. You are the One Who brings forward and the One Who puts back, there is no god but You.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 729)

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say when he started the obligatory prayer, "I have directed my face towards the one who originated the heavens and the earth, inclining towards faith, and I am not of those who associate partners with Allah. Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds, with no partner. And by this I am commanded, and I am one of the Muslims. O Allah, You are the King, there is no god but You. Exalted are You, and to You is all praise. You are my Lord, and I am Your servant. I have wronged myself, and I confess my sins, so forgive me all my sins. None forgives sins except You. Guide me to the best of manners, as none can guide to good manners except You. Turn away from me all evil manners, as none can turn away from me all evil manners except You. Here I am at Your service, and my pleasure and my good deeds are in Your hands. The one guided by You is the guided one, and to You is all blessings and exaltation. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You." He said, "And when he performed the bowing during the obligatory prayer, he said, 'O Allah, for You I have bowed, and in You I have believed, and to You I have submitted. You are my Lord. My hearing, my sight, my mind, my bones, and any strength I possess, all are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.' And when he raised his head from the bowing position in the obligatory prayer, he said, 'O Allah, our Lord, to You is all praise, filling the heavens, filling the earth, filling whatever You will.

أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِىَ لِلَّذى فَطَرَ السمَّوَاتِ والأَرض حَنيفًا مُسْلِمًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ المُشرِكِين، إن صَلاَتِى وَنُسكِى وَمَحيْاىَ ومَمَاتِى للهِ رَبِّ العَالمينَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وبِذَلك أُمِرت، وَأنَا مِنَ المُسْلِمين، اللَّهم أنْتَ المَلك لاَ إله إلا أَنْتَ سُبحانَكَ وَبِحَمدِك، أنْتَ ربِّىَ وأَنَا عَبْدُك، ظَلَمْت نَفْسِى، واعْتَرفْتُ بِذَنبى، فاغْفِر لِى ذُنُوبِى جَميعًا لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إلاَّ أَنْتَ، واهدِنى لأَحْسَن الأَخْلاَق، لا يَهْدِى لأحْسنها إلا أَنْتَ، واصْرِف عَنِّى سَيّئها، لاَ يَصْرف عَنِّى سَيئَها إلاَّ أنْتَ، لَبَّيكَ وسَعْدَيك، والخَير بِيَدَيْكَ، والمهدِىُّ مَنْ هَدَيت، أَنَا بِكَ وإِلَيْكَ، تَبَاركْتَ وتَعَالَيت، أستَغْفِركَ وأتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ. قَالَ: وكَانَ إذا ركَعَ قال: اللَّهُم لكَ رَكَعْتُ، وَبكَ آمنْت وِإليْكَ أسْلَمْت، أَنْتَ ربِّى، خَشَع سَمعِى وبَصَرى ومخى وعظَامِى وما استقلت به قدَمِى لله رَبِّ العَالمَين".  

كَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ إلَى الصَّلاَةِ كَبَّرَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَجَّهْتُ وَجهِى لِلَّذِى فَطَرَ السَّمَوات وَالأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكينَ، إِنَّ صَلاَتِى وَنُسُكى وَمَحْيَاى وَمَمَاتِى لله ربِّ الْعَالمِينَ، لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، اللَهُمَّ أنْتَ الْمَلِكُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ ربِّى وأنا عَبْدُكَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَنْبِى فَاغْفِرْ لى ذُنُوبِى جميعًا، إِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، وَاهْدِنِى لِأَحْسَنِ الأَخْلاَقِ، لاَ يَهْدِى لأَحْسَنِهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَاصْرِفْ عَنّى سيِّئَها، لاَ يَصْرِفُ عنِّى سيِّئَهَا إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، لَبَّيْكَ

وَسَعْديْكَ، وَالْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ فِى يَدَيْكَ، وَالشَّرُّ لَيْسَ إِلَيْكَ، أَنَا بِكَ وَإلَيْكَ، تَبَارَكْتَ، وَتَعَالَيْتَ أَسْتَغْفِركَ وأتُوبُ إليكَ، وإذَا ركَعَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ لكَ رَكَعْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَلَكَ أسْلَمْتُ، خَشَعَ لَكَ سَمْعِى وَبَصَرِى وَمُخِّى وَعظْمِى وَعَصَبِى، وَإذَا رَفَعَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَمِلْءَ الأَرْضِ، وَمِلْءَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا، وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئتَ مِنْ شَئٍ مِنْ بَعْدُ، وَإِذَا سَجَدَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ سَجَدْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، سَجَدَ وَجْهِى لِلَّذِى خَلَقَهُ وَصَوَّرَهُ، وَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ، تَبَارَكَ الله أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مِنْ آخِرِ مَا يَقُولُ بَيْنَ التَّشَهُّدِ وَالتَّسْلِيمِ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِى مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ، وما أسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ، وَمَا أَسْرَفْتُ وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّى، أَنْتَ الْمُقِدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمؤخِّرُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
