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.
Aishah :RA: said: "Allah's Messenger :SAW: did not sit in a gathering,and did not recite the Qur'an, and did not perform any prayer without concluding by saying:
وَأَدْخِلْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ
"..and admit me, by Your mercy, among Your righteous slaves." [27:19]
The Prophet Yusuf عليه سلم prayed:
تَوَفَّنِي مُسْلِمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ
"Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the Righteous." (12:101)
Allah has taught us to pray that even the death comes among the righteous:
رَّبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي لِلْإِيمَانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا ۚ رَبَّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئَاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ الْأَبْرَارِ
"Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller calling to faith, [saying], 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, so forgive us our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to die with the righteous."
Holy Quran, 3:193
Asalamualkium, I just finished researching and writing an article on this exact topic. There's 2 duas I came out with,
FIRST DUA: Transliteration: Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un Translation: We indeed belong to ALLAH, and we indeed toward Him are returning.
"The phrase is commonly recited by Muslims when a person experiences a tragedy in life, especially upon hearing news that a person has died. The phrase may also be recited in situations that involve risk of any sort."
SECOND DUA: Anta tahadi min al-daula
English Translation: You Guide from the lost
One point I think it's important to highlight is the following excerpt from article:
There is no guarantee that Allah will grant us what we want. This is where the forum user was wrong. At the end of the day Allah alone knows what is best for us and we have to believe that He will give us the best.
This may be a test to practice our patience.Sometimes we may not even understand the true impact of the situation. It could be a blessing in disguise, or a way for Allah to protect us from what we do not know.
The reason we feel hurt or pain is because we have attached meaning to these items. If you dropped a penny on the floor how much sleep would lose once you found it was lost? My guess would be not a lot. The reason why is because the penny has no significance or meaning to you. Since you have no emotional attachment you don't really thing twice about it. This is harder to do when it's an iPhone or even a $20 bill. But you have power in that you get to control the meaning you give to something.
The main problem here is hedonism (a person who believes that the pursuit of pleasure is the most important thing in life) we often get to attached to material items and get down when we lose them. Being able to deal with losing items can be a great reward since Muslims understand this life on earth is a test. I also highlight another practical technique that we can practice to detach ourselves from material items.
Let me know your thoughts on the subject, I find it really interesting.
It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If a person who is afflicted by anxiety or sorrow says:
‘Allaahumma inni ‘abduka wa ibnu ‘abdika wa ibn ammatika naasiyati bi yadika maadin fiyya hukmuka ‘adlun fiyya qadaa’uka as’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw asta’tharta bihi fi ‘ilm il-ghaybi ‘indaka an taj’al al-Qur’aana rabee’a qalbi wa noora sadri wa jalaa’a huzni wa dhahaaba hammi
(O Allaah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your female slave, my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You with which You have named Yourself, or, or You have taught to any of Your creation, or You have revealed in Your Book, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the Unseen with You, that You make the Qur’aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety)’,
then Allaah will take away his anxiety and sorrow, and will replace it with joy.”
It was said: “O Messenger of Allaah , should we not learn it?” He said: “Yes, whoever hears it should learn it.”
Narrated by Ahmad; classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 199
Allahumma anta a’lamu minni binafsi wa ana a’lamu binafsi minhum, Allahummaj ‘alni khayram mimma yazunnun, waghfirli ma la y’alamun, wala tua khidhni bima yaqulun.
O Allah, You Know me better than I know myself, and I know myself better than them.
O Allah, make me better than they think of me, and do not hold me responsible for what they say about me.
This du’a is recorded with a broken chain by Imam Ibnul Athir (rahimahullah).
