Supplication for forgiveness
This is a supplication that the Prophet (may Allah bestow upon him peace and blessings) said when asking for forgiveness but as we all know all the Prophets are free from minor and major sins. He was sent as a teacher and this was one of supplications that he taught us. This could also be because he is increasing in rank with Allah (mighty and Majestic).
عَن أَبي مُوسَى الأَشعَرِي عَن النَّبِيُ صَلَى اللهُ عَلَيِهِ وَسَلَّم أَنهُ كَانَ يَدعو بِهَذَا الدُعَاءُ : اللَّهُمَّ اغفِر لِي خَطَيئتي وَ جَهلَي وَاِسرَافِيُ فِي أَمرِي وَ مَا أَنتَ أَعلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي. اللَّهُمَّ اغفِر لِي جدي وَهَزَلي وَخَطَئي وَ عَمدِي وَكُل ذَلِكَ عِندِي اللَّهُمَّ اغفِر لِي مَا قَدَّمتُ مَاأخرتُ وَ مَا أَسرَرتُ وَ مَا أَعلَنتُ وَمَا أَنتَ أَعلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي.
رِواهُ البُخَارِي فِي أداب المُفرَدِ وَالحَاكِم
Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him) used to make this supplication, “O’Allah, forgive my errors; my ignorance; my excessive waste in my affairs; and you know this better than me. O’Allah, forgive my seriousness; my mockery; my mistakes; my deliberate (errors) and all of this is from me. O’Allah, forgive what has preceded and what is forthcoming; What I have done secretly; what I have done openly and you know this better than me.”
Narrated by Al-Bukhari in Etiquette of the Individual.
Abu Ja'far heard Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Al-Hassan recite this Quranic passage, “Allah beckons you to the abode of peace; and he guides whoever he wills to the straight path.” (Yunis 10:25)
Then he narrated from Jabir ibn Abdullah said, “The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him) came to us one day and said, “I saw a dream, it was if Jibreal (upon him peace) was near my head and Mikaeal was at my feet. One said to the other, “Give him a similitude.” He said, “Listen," He listened and heard with an understanding heart. "You and your nation are like a people who the king has given land to; then built a house upon it; then placed cattle upon it; then sent a messenger to call the people to food; some responded to the messenger and others did not. Allah is the King; the land is Islam; the house is paradise and you O’ Muhammad are the Messenger; whoever responds to you enters Islam; whoever enters Islam enters Paradise and whoever enters paradise partakes in it.”
Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadark 2:338-339 who said this chain is authentic. Imam Ad-Dhahabi said, “It is authentic.”
