It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said that among the supplications of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was this supplication: «اللَّهُمَّاغْفِرْلِيذَنْبِيكُلَّهُ،دِقَّهُوَجِلَّهُ،سِرَّهُوَعَلَانِيَتَهُ،وَمَاأَنْتَأَعْلَمُبِهِمِنِّي،إِنَّكَأَنْتَالْمُقَدِّمُوَأَنْتَالْمُؤَخِّرُ،لَاإِلَهَإِلَّاأَنْتَ» "O Allah! Forgive all my past and future, hidden and apparent sins. And forgive those of my sins which You know better than I do. Surely, You are the One Who brings forward and You are the One Who puts back. There is no true deity except You."
