✦ Hadith : The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is Sayydal Astigfar

--------------------

The Prophet (ﷺ) said If somebody recites Sayydal Astigfar 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.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَىَّ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي، فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

Awuzu bika min sharri ma sana'tu, abu'u Laka bini'matika 'alaiya,  wa Abu'u bizambi fagfirli fa innahu la Yagfiru-az-zunuba illa anta.

Translation: O Allah, You are my Lord, none has the right to be worshiped except You, You created me and I am Your servant and I abide to Your covenant and promise [to honor it] as best I can, I take refuge in You from the evil of which I committed. I acknowledge Your favor upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for verily none can forgive sins except You.
