In one narration, in place of "I seek forgiveness", the words are "I repent". Al-Tabarani recorded all these narrations in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and along with him Abu Ya'la and al-Bazzar also recorded them. The chain of the narration with the words "I seek forgiveness" is hasan (good), and in the narration with the words "I repent to Allah Almighty", the narrators of one of Abu Ya'la's two chains are the narrators of the Sahih.
