Remembrance 4 from Chapter 46

Allāhumma innī ẓalamtu nafsī ẓulman kathīran, wa lā yaghfiru-dh-dhunūba illā Ant, fa-ghfir lī maghfiratan min ‘indik, wa-rḥamnī, innaka Anta-l-Ghafūru-r-Raḥīm.

And we relate from the Ṣaḥīḥs of al-Bukhārī and Muslim that ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Āṣ narrated that Abū Bakr aṣ-Ṣiddīq reported that he asked the Messenger of Allah : “Teach me a du‘ā’ that I may supplicate with in my ṣalāh.” He said: “Say: O Allah, I have wronged myself greatly and no-one forgives sins except You; so grant me forgiveness from You, and have mercy on me. You are the Most Forgiving and the Most Merciful.” ^[5].
