عُمَرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shall I not inform you of the greatest form of seeking forgiveness?" They said, "Certainly, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "O Allah, there is no god but You. You created me, and I am Your servant, and I am holding to Your covenant and Your promise as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favors and I confess my sins. So forgive me, for no one can forgive sins except You. Whoever says this when evening comes and then dies in his sleep, will enter Paradise, and whoever says it when morning comes and then dies in his sleep, will enter Paradise."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِسَيِّدِ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ؟» قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَعَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذُنُوبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ لَا يَقُولُهَا أَحَدٌ حِينَ يُمْسِي فَيَمُوتُ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَلَا يَقُولُهَا أَحَدٌ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ فَيَأْتِيهِ الْمَوْتُ إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Shall I not guide you to the best of forgiveness?" He said, "O Allah, You are my Lord; You created me, and I am Your servant, and I am steadfast to my covenant and promise to You as much as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done, and I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I acknowledge my sins. So forgive me, for none can forgive sins except You. No servant says this supplication and it reaches his Lord on that day, before the evening or morning, except that he will be among the people of Paradise, if Allah wills."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى سَيِّدِ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ؟ أَنْ تَقُولَ «اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذُنُوبِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَقُولُهَا فَيَأْتِيهِ قَدَرُهُ فِي يَوْمِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُمْسِيَ أَوْ فِي مَسَائِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ إِلَّا كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ»  

[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."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ سَيِّدُ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ أَنْ تَقُولَ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ أَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِالنِّعْمَةِ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ فَإِنْ قَالَهَا حِينَ يُصْبِحُ مُوقِنًا بِهَا ثُمَّ مَاتَ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ قَالَهَا بَعْدَمَا يُمْسِي مُوقِنًا بِهَا ثُمَّ مَاتَ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حُسَيْنٌ أَثْبَتُ عِنْدَنَا مِنَ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ وَأَعْلَمُ بِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ وَحَدِيثُهُ أَوْلَى بِالصَّوَابِ  

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)   

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 ".
