The Prophet’s ﷺ dua for forgiveness
The Prophet ﷺ used to make this dua:
rabbi ighfir lī khaṭīʾatī wa-jahlī, wa-isrāfī fī amrī kullih, wa-mā anta aʿlamu bihi minnī. allāhumma ighfir lī khaṭāyāya, wa-ʿamdī wa-jahlī wa-hazlī, wa-kullu dhālika ʿindī. allāhumma ighfir lī mā qaddamtu wa-mā akhkhartu, wa-mā asrartu wa-mā aʿlantu, anta al-muqaddimu wa-anta al-muʾakhkhir, wa-anta ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr
(My Lord, forgive me my sin, my ignorance, and my excess in all of my affairs, and what You know better than I do. O Allah, forgive me my mistakes, my deliberate acts, my ignorance, and my jesting, and all of that is found in me. O Allah, forgive me what I have sent forward and what I have left behind, what I have concealed and what I have made public. You are the One who brings forward and You are the One who delays, and You have power over all things.)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ:
«رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي وَجَهْلِي وَإِسْرَافِي فِي أَمْرِي كُلِّهِ، وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي. اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطَايَاىَ وَعَمْدِي وَجَهْلِي وَهَزْلِي، وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي. اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ، أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ».
The Prophet ﷺ used to invoke Allah, saying, "Allahumma ighfirli khati'ati wa jahli wa israfi fi ʿAmri, wa ma anta a-'lamu bihi minni. Allahumma ighfirli hazali wa jiddi wa khata'i wa amdi, wa kullu dhalika 'indi."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَدْعُو اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي وَجَهْلِي وَإِسْرَافِي فِي أَمْرِي وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي هَزْلِي وَجِدِّي وَخَطَاىَ وَعَمْدِي وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي
