اللهم اغفر لي خطيئتي وجهلي وإسرافي في أمري وما أنت أعلم به مني اللهم اغفر لي جدي وهزلي وخطئي وعمدي وكل ذلك عندي
Allahummagh firli khatiati wa jahli wa israfi fi amri wa ma anta a’alamu bihi minni. Allahummagh firli jiddi wa hazli wa khatai wa ‘amdi wa kullu dhalika ‘indi
Imam Muslim (rahimahullah) has recorded these words as a du’a of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded the du’a with variation in the wording.
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2719, Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 6398-6399)
Translation:
O Allah, forgive my errors and ignorance, my extravagance/immoderation in all of my affairs and what You know best of me. O Allah, forgive me my errors what I do seriously, what I do in jest and what I do intentionally. All of these [faults] are in me.
عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: الدعاء لا يرد بين الأذان والإقامة قالوا: فماذا نقول يا رسول الله؟ قال: سلوا الله العافية في الدنيا والآخرة )ترمذي رقم 3594(
Hazrat Anas (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “The duaa made between azaan and iqaamah is not rejected.” The Sahaabah asked: “O Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), so what duaa should we make?” Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied: “Ask Allah Ta’ala for aafiyah in this world and the Hereafter.”
Before commencing one’s tahajjud salaah, one should recite Takbeer (Allahu Akbar) ten times, Tahmeed (Alhamdulllah) ten times, Tasbeeh (SubhaanAllah) ten times, and Istighfaar (Astaghfirullah) ten times. Thereafter one should recite the following Duaa
O Allah, forgive my sins, guide me to the straight path, grant me sustenance and bless me with aafiyah (good health and good conditions). I seek the protection of Allah from the difficulty of the day of Qiyaamah.
عن عاصم بن حميد قال: سألت عائشة ماذا كان النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم يفتتح به قيام الليل ؟ قالت لقد سألتني عن شيء ما سألني عنه أحد قبلك . كان يكبر عشرا . ويحمد عشرا . ويسبح عشرا . ويستغفر عشرا . ويقول: اللهم اغفر لي واهدني وارزقني وعافني ( ويتعوذ من ضيق المقام يوم القيامة . )ابن ماجة رقم 1356، ابو داود رقم 766(
Hadhrat Aasim bin Humaid (Rahmatullahi Alaih) reports: “I once asked Hadhrat Aaisha (Radhiyallahu Anha) regarding the zikr which Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) used to recite at the time of Tahajjud before commencing his Tahajjud salaah. Hadhrat Aaisha (Radhiyallahu Anha) replied: ‘You asked me regarding something that no one before you has asked me.’ She then said: ‘Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) would recite Takbeer (Allahu Akbar) ten times, Tahmeed (Alhamdulllah) ten times, Tasbeeh (SubhaanAllah) ten times, and Istighfaar (Astaghfirullah) ten times. Thereafter he would recite the following Duaa and then seek protection in Allah Ta’ala from the difficulty of the day of Qiyaamah.
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَعَافِنِي
There is none worthy of worship besides Allah Ta’ala, and Allah Ta’ala is the greatest. There is none worthy of worship besides Allah Ta’ala who is alone. There is none worthy of worship besides Allah Ta’ala who has no partner. There is none worthy of worship besides Allah Ta’ala to whom belongs the entire kingdom and for Him is all praise. There is none worthy of worship besides Allah Ta’ala, and there is no ability (to avoid sins) and no power (to do good) except with the help of Allah Ta’ala.
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه يرفع الحديث إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: من قال: لا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله وحده لا إله إلا الله لا شريك له، لا إله إلا الله، له الملك وله الحمد، لا إله إلا الله، ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، يعقدهن خمسا بأصابعه، ثم قال: من قالهن في يوم أو ليلة أو في شهر ثم مات في ذلك اليوم، أو في تلك الليلة، أو في ذلك الشهر، غفر له ذنبه )جامع الأحاديث رقم 23273( ]1[
Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “The one who recites the followingduaain the day or night or in a month, and passes away on that day or night or in that month, his (minor) sins will be forgiven.
]1[ عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه يرفع الحديث إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: من قال: لا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، لا إله إلا الله، له الملك وله الحمد، لا إله إلا الله، ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، يعقدهن خمسا بأصابعه، ثم قال: من قالهن في يوم أو ليلة أو في شهر ثم مات في ذلك اليوم، أو في تلك الليلة، أو في ذلك الشهر، غفر له ذنبه )السنن الكبرى للنسائي رقم 9773(
If a person is in difficulty or hardship, he should reply to the words of the azaan, and thereafter recite the following Duaa. After completing the Duaa, he should beg Allah Ta’ala to ease his difficulty and hardship:
O Allah, the Rabb of this true call, which is replied to and accepted, the call of truth and the word of taqwa (piety), keep us alive upon it, grant us death upon it, and resurrect us upon it, and make us from among the best of its people from the living and the dead (i.e. in our lives and after we pass away).
عن أبي أمامة رضي الله عنه، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال:إذا نادى المنادي فتحت أبواب السماء، واستجيب الدعاء، فمن نزل به كرب أو شدة فليتحين المنادي، فإذا كبر كبروا، وإذا تشهد تشهدوا، وإذا قال: حي على الصلاة، قال: حي على الصلاة، وإذا قال: حي على الفلاح، قال: حي على الفلاح، ثم يقول: اللهم رب هذه الدعوة الصادقة المستجابة المستجاب لها دعوة الحق، وكلمة التقوى، أحينا عليها وأمتنا عليها، وابعثنا عليها، واجعلنا من خيار أهلها أحياء وأمواتا، ثم يسأل الله حاجته. هذا حديث صحيح الإسناد، ولم يخرجاه )حاكم رقم 2004(
Hazrat Abu Umaamah (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “When the muazzin calls out the azaan, the doors of the sky open and duaas are answered. Thus whoever is undergoing difficulty or hardship, then he should seek (the time of) the call of the muazzin. Then he shouldreply to the takbeer of the muazzin by reciting takbeer, and reply to the shahaadah of the muazzin by reciting shahaadah, and reply to ‘Hayya alas salaah’ by reciting ‘Hayya alas salaah’, and reply to ‘Hayya alal falaah’ by reciting ‘Hayya alal falaah’, and thereafter he should recite the following duaa, and seek his need from Allah Ta’ala:
In this Hadith, it is mentioned that after the muazzin recites Hayya alas salaah and Hayya alal falaah, one should reply to these words by also reciting Hayya alas salaah and Hayya alal falaah. However, in other Ahaadith it is mentioned that after the muazzin recites Hayya alas salaah and Hayya alal falaah, one should reply by saying Laa haula wala quwwata illa billah. Imaam Tahaawi (Rahimahullah) and the great muhadditheen have mentioned that one should practise on both these Ahaadith by reciting both these words. Hence, one should first recite Hayya alas salaah and thereafter Laa haula wala quwwata illa billah. Similarly, one should recite Hayya alal falaah and thereafter Laa haula wala quwwata illa billah.
O Allah I seek refuge in You that I be misguided or that I become the victim of somebody else’s misguidance, or that I slip or I be caused to slip (through someone) or that I oppress or I become the victim of someone’s oppression, or I behave in an ignorant manner or I am dealt with by others in an ignorant manner.
عن أم سلمة قالت ما خرج النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم من بيتى قط إلا رفع طرفه إلى السماء فقال اللهم إنى أعوذ بك أن أضل أو أضل أو أزل أو أزل أو أظلم أو أظلم أو أجهل أو يجهل على. )ابو داود رقم 5096(
Hadhrat Umme Salamah (Radhiyallahu Anha) said: “Whenever Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) left my home, he would lift his gaze to the sky and recite the following Duaa:
In the name of Allah Ta’ala I place my complete reliance and trust upon Allah. There is no ability to do any good and no power to restrain from any harm or evil except through the grace of Allah Ta’ala.
عن أنس بن مالك أن النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم قال إذا خرج الرجل من بيته فقال بسم الله توكلت على الله لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله. قال:يقال حينئذ هديت وكفيت ووقيت فتتنحى له الشياطين فيقول له شيطان آخر كيف لك برجل قد هدى وكفى ووقى (ابو داود رقم 5097)
Hadhrat Anas (Radhiallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “When a person leaves his home and recites the following Duaa:
بسم الله توكلت على الله لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله
An angel proclaims, “You have been guided, your needs have been seen to, and you have been protected.” The Shayateen then distance themselves from him, and another shaytaan says: “How can you gain control over a man who has been guided, whose needs have been fulfilled and who has been protected and granted safety?”
عن عقبة بن عامر رضى الله عنه: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: من توضأ فأتم وضوءه، ثم رفع رأسه إلى السماء، فقال: أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأن محمدا عبده ورسوله، فتحت له ثمانية أبواب الجنة يدخل من أيها شاء. )المصنف لإبن ابي شيبة رقم 24(
Hadhrat Uqbah bin Aamir (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: Whoever performs a perfect wudhu then raises his gaze towards the sky and recites the following Duaa, the eight doors of Jannat will be opened for him and will be allowed to enter from whichever door he wishes (on the day of Qiyaamah):
Glory be to You, O Allah, with all Praise; I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except You, I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
عن أبي سعيد الخدري، قال: من قال إذا فرغ من وضوئه: سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك، أشهد أن لا إله إلا أنت، أستغفرك وأتوب إليك، ختمت بخاتم ثم رفعت تحت العرش فلم يكسر إلى يوم القيامة )مصنف رقم 19(
Hazrat Abu Sa’eed Khudri (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports: “Whoever recites the following Duaa upon completing his wudhu, his action of wudhu is sealed with a seal and raised till it reaches beneath the Arsh of Allah Ta’ala, and it will not be broken until the day of Qiyaamah.”
O Allah! Forgive my sins, make my house spacious for me and grant me blessings in my sustenance.
عن ابى موسى الاشعرى رضى الله عنه قال اتيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم بوَضوء فتوضأ فسمعته يدعو و يقول اللهم اغفر لى ذنبى ووسّع لى فى دارى و بارك لى فى رزقى فقلت يا نبى الله سمعتك تدعو بكذا و كذا قال وهل تركن من شيء . )الاذكار للامام النووى ص73 (
Hadhrat Abu Musa Ashari (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports: I brought water to Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) to perform wudhu. He performed wudhu and I heard him reciting the duaaاللهم اغفر لى ذنبى ووسّع لى فى دارى و بارك لى فى رزقى. I then asked him: O Nabi of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) I heard you whilst making wudhu reciting the duaa.اللهم اغفر لى ذنبى ووسّع لى فى دارى و بارك لى فى رزقى Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied: Is this Duaa insufficient in any way, (in encompassing all the bounties and favours of Allah Ta’ala?)
Hadhrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (Radhiallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Whichever Muslim hears the azaan being called out, and replies to the takbeer of the muazzin by reciting takbeer, and replies to the shahaadat of the muazzin by reciting shahaadat, and thereafter he recites the following duaa, he will be granted the intercession of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) on the day of Qiyaamah:
O Allah, bless Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) with waseela (the right of interceding for the entire creation on the day of Qiyaamah), and elevate his stages to the highest stage in illiyeen (in Paradise), and bless the hearts of Your chosen servants with his special love, and bless the extremely pious of Your servants with his companionship in the Hereafter.
There is no deity besides Allah Ta’ala alone, the One who has no partner. To Him belongs the kingdom (of the universe), and for Him is all praise and He has power over everything. All praise is for Allah, Glory be to Allah, there is none worthy of worship besides Allah, and Allah is the greatest. And there is no ability (to avoid sins) and no power (to do good) except with the help of Allah Ta’ala.
عن عبادة بن الصامت رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال من تعار من الليل فقال لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير الحمد لله وسبحان الله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله ثم قال اللهم اغفر لي أو دعا استجيب له فإن توضأ وصلى قبلت صلاته )بخاري رقم 1154(
Hazrat Ubaadah bin Saamit (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “The one who wakes up during the night and recites the following Duaa, and thereafter says, ‘O Allah, forgive me’ or he makes any duaa, his Duaa will be answered; and if he makes wudhu and performs salaah, his salaah will be accepted.
عن زيد بن أرقم رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم كان يقول اللهم إني أعوذ بك من علم لا ينفع ومن قلب لا يخشع ومن نفس لا تشبع ومن دعوة لا يستجاب لها رواه مسلم والترمذي والنسائي وهو قطعة من حديث )الترغيب والترهيب 1/167(
Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) used to make the following Duaa: “O Allah, I seek Your protection from such knowledge that does not benefit; and from a heart that does not have khushoo’ (at the time of carrying out ibaadat); and from a nafs that does not get satiated (and content, but rather always desires more of the world); and (I seek protection) from a duaa that is not answered.”
In the name of Allah (SWT), I depend on Allah (SWT), and we do not have any power to do good deeds or to avoid evil deeds except with the help of Allah.
(Tirmidhi)
O Allah (SWT), I beg of you the blessing of entering and leaving With Allah‘s (SWT) name do we enter and with Alláh’s (SWT) name do we leave, and upon Allah, our Lord, do we rely.
(Abu Dawud)
