عن شداد بن أوس رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال

سيد الاستغفار أن تقول : اللهم أنت ربي لا إله إلا أنت خلقتني وأنا عبدك وأنا على عهدك ووعدك ما استطعت أعوذ بك من شر ما صنعت أبوء لك بنعمتك علي وأبوء لك بذنبي فاغفر لي فإنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت .قال : ومن قالها من النهار موقنا بها فمات من يومه قبل أن يمسي فهو من أهل الجنة ومن قالها من الليل وهو موقن بها فمات قبل أن يصبح فهو من أهل الجنة

رواه البخاري ٦٣٠٦

It was narrated from Shaddaad ibn Aws (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

The best prayer for forgiveness is to say: Allaahumma anta Rabbiy laa ilaaha illa anta, khalaqtani wa ana ‘abduka wa ana ‘ala ‘ahdika wa wa’dika ma astata’tu, a’oodhu bika min sharri ma sana’tu aboo’u laka bi ni’matika ‘alayya wa aboo’u laka bi dhanbi, faghfir li fa innahu laa yaghfir ul-dhunooba illa anta

(O Allaah, You are my Lord and I am Your slave, You have created me and I am faithful to my covenant and my promise (to You) as much as I am able. I seek refuge with You from the evil of that which I have done. I acknowledge before You all the blessings You have bestowed upon me and I confess to You my sin. Forgive me for there is no one who forgives sin except You).”  

He said: Whoever says this during the day believing in it with certainty and dies that day before evening comes, will be one of the people of Paradise, and whoever says it at night believing in it with certainty and dies before morning comes will be one of the people of Paradise.

Sahih Bukhari, 6306

عن شداد بن أوس رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏

سيد الإستغفار أن يقول العبد ‏:‏ اللهم أنت ربي، لا إله إلا أنت ، خلقتني وأنا عبدك، وأنا على عهدك ووعدك ما استطعت أعوذ بك من شر ما صنعت أبوء لك بنعمتك علي، وأبوء بذنبي، فاغفر لي فإنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت، من قالها من النهار موقنا بها، فمات من يومه قبل أن يمسي، فهو من أهل الجنة، ومن قالها من الليل وهو موقن بها فمات قبل أن يصبح، فهو من أهل الجنة

أخرجه البخاري ٦٣٠٦

Shaddad bin Aus (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said,

The best supplication for seeking forgiveness (Syed-ul- Istighfar) is to say: ‘

Allahumma Anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa Anta, khalaqtani wa ana ‘abduka, wa ana ‘ala ‘ahdika wa wa’dika mastata’tu, a’udhu bika min sharri ma sana’tu, abu’u laka bini’matika ‘alayya, wa abu’u bidhanbi faghfir li, fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa Anta.

(O Allah! You are my Rubb. There is no true god except You. You have created me, and I am Your slave, and I hold to Your Covenant as far as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge the favours that You have bestowed upon me, and I confess my sins. Pardon me, for none but You has the power to pardon).’

He who supplicates in these terms during the day with firm belief in it and dies on the same day (before the evening), he will be one of the dwellers of Jannah; and if anyone supplicates in these terms during the night with firm belief in it and dies before the morning, he will be one of the dwellers of Jannah.”

Dua upon entering the Mosque
1. Haiwah b. Shuraih reported :

I met ‘Uqbah b. Muslim and said to him: it has been reported to me that someone has narrated to you from the prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that when he entered the mosque, he would say: 

“‏ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِوَجْهِهِ الْكَرِيمِ وَسُلْطَانِهِ 

الْقَدِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ


I seek refuge in Allah, the Magnificent, and in His noble face, and in his eternal domain, from the accursed Devil. 

He asked : is it so much only? I said: Yes. He said: when anyone says so. The devil says: he is protected from me all the day long.  

Sunan Abi Dawud 466 Also See Sahih Al-Jami’ 4591

2. Abu Usaid reported that the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

When any one of you enters the mosque, he should say:


اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ ‏.

” O Allah! open for me the doors of Thy mercy” ; 

and when he steps out he should say: 

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ 

‘O Allah! I beg of Thee Thy Grace.” 

(Imam Muslim said: I heard Yahya saying: I transcribed this hadith from the compilation of Sulaiman b. Bilal.
