Hadith 619
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ هِلالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ ، عَنْ زَاذَانَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الضُّحَى ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ”اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ، وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ “، حَتَّى قَالَهَا مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Duha prayer, then kept reciting this supplication: «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي، وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ» "O Allah, forgive me and accept my repentance, surely You are the Most Accepting of repentance, the Most Merciful." He recited this supplication one hundred times.
