[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "The chief of supplications is to say: 'O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no god worthy of worship except You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I am faithful to my covenant and promise to You as much as I am able. I seek refuge in Your favor and acknowledge my sins to You. So forgive me, for there is no one who forgives sins except You.' If a person says this in the morning, truly believing in it, and then dies that day, they will be from the people of Paradise. And if they say it in the evening, truly believing in it, and then dies that night, they will be from the people of Paradise." Abu Abdur-Rahman Husayn said: "In our opinion, this hadith is more authentic than that of Walid ibn Tha'labah, and I am more knowledgeable about Abdullah ibn Buraidah, and his narration is more correct."

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: 'Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta. Khalaqtani wa ana ʿAbduka, wa ana 'ala 'ahdika wa Wa'dika mastata'tu abu'u Laka bi ni 'matika wa abu'u Laka bidhanbi; faghfirli fa'innahu la yaghfiru-dh-dhunuba ill a ant a. A'uidhu bika min sharri ma sana'tu.' If somebody recites this invocation during the night, and if he should die then, he will go to Paradise (or he will be from the people of Paradise). And if he recites it in the morning, and if he should die on the same day, he will have the same fate."

from the Prophet ﷺ: "The master of seeking forgiveness from Allah is:

"allāhuma anta rabbī lā ilāha illā anta, khalaqtanī wa-ana ʿabduka, wa-ana ʿalá ʿahdika wa-waʿdika mā istaṭaʿtu, aʿūdhu bika min shari mā ṣanaʿtu, abūʾu laka bi-niʿmatika ʿalayya wa-abūʾu laka bi-dhanbī, fa-ighfir lī, fa-innahū lā yaghfiru al-dhunūba illā anta."

(O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no deity except You. You created me, and I am Your servant, and I am on the covenant and promise to the best of my ability. I seek refuge with You from the evil of what I have done, and I acknowledge Your favor upon me, and I confess my sins. So forgive me, for surely, there is none who forgives sins except You.)

He added, "If someone says it during the day with firm faith in it and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Jannah; and if someone say it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Jannah."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: «سَيِّدُ الاِسْتِغْفَارِ أَنْ تَقُولَ:

قَالَ: «وَمَنْ قَالَهَا مِنَ النَّهَارِ مُوقِنًا بِهَا فَمَاتَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُمْسِيَ فَهُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَمَنْ قَالَهَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَهْوَ مُوقِنٌ بِهَا فَمَاتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ فَهْوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ۔»

The Prophet ﷺ said "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: 'Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, Khalaqtani wa ana ʿAbduka, wa ana ʿala ʿahdika wa waʿdika mastataʿtu, Aʿudhu bika min Sharri ma sanaʿtu, abu'u Laka biniʿmatika ʿalaiya, wa abu'u laka bidhanbi faghfir lee fa innahu la yaghfiru adhdhunuba illa anta." The Prophet ﷺ added. "If somebody recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6306)   

الكبرى للنسائي:٩٧٦٣أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ الْمُعَلِّمُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَيِّدُ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ أَنْ يَقُولَ الْعَبْدُ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَعَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ فَإِنْ قَالَهَا بَعْدَمَا يُصْبِحُ مُوقِنًا فَمَاتَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُمْسِيَ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإنْ قَالَهَا حِينَ يُمْسِي فَمَاتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَالَفَهُ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ رَوَاهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

"أَلا أدُلُّكَ عَلَى سَيِّدِ الاسْتِغْفَارِ؟ اللَّهُمَّ أنْتَ ربِّى لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خلَقْتَنِى وَأنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأنَا عَلَى عَهْدِك وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أعُوذُ بكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ وَأبُوءُ لَكَ بنِعْمَتِكَ عَلىَّ، وَأعْتَرِفُ بدنُوبِى فَاغْفِرْ لى ذُنُوبى، إنَّهُ لا يَغفرُ الذنوب إِلَّا أنْتَ، لَا يَقُولُهَا أحَدُكُمْ حينَ يُمْسى فَيَأتى علَيْه قَدَرٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصْبحَ إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الجنَةُ، وَلَا يَقُولُهَا حِينَ يُصْبحُ فَيَأتِى علَيْهِ قَدَرٌ قَبْلَ أنْ يُمْسِى إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ ".

"سيِّدُ الاسْتِغْفَارِ أَنْ تَقُول: اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّى، لَا إِلَه إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وأَنَا عبْدُكَ، وأَنَا علَى عهْدكِ ووعْدِكَ ما اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بكَ من شَرِّ ما صنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بنْعْمتِكَ علَىَّ، وأَبوءُ لَك بِذَنْبِى فَاغْفِر لِى، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يغْفِرُ الذُنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، من قَالَهَا مِنَ النَّهَارِ مُوقِنًا فَماتَ منْ يوْمِهِ قَبْلَ أَن يمْسِىَ فَهو في الْجنَة، ومن قَالَهَا وهو مُوقِقٌ بِهَا فَماتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ فَهُو مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ".
