عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ ، وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ " . قُلْتُ : لَهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ : " اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ " . إِلَى آخِرِهِ . وَهَذَا : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ ، إِلَّا أَنَّ ابْنَ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ : حُدِّثْتُ عَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ .
Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "O Allah! Indeed I seek Your forgiveness for what I have done before, for what I will do later, for what I have done in secret and for what I have done openly. Indeed, You are the One who brings forward and You are the One who puts back, and You have power over all things."
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: A narration from this Companion is mentioned in the Sahih in which the words are: "O Allah! Forgive me for what I have done before" and so on to the end, and here the words are: "O Allah! I seek Your forgiveness."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except that Ibn Buraydah said: From al-Ash'ari
this report was narrated to me.

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ - رَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ - أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " مَنْ قَالَ : سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ ; كُتِبَتْ كَمَا قَالَهَا ، ثُمَّ عُلِّقَتْ بِالْعَرْشِ لَا يَمْحُوهَا ذَنْبٌ عَمِلَهُ صَاحِبُهَا ، حَتَّى يَلْقَى اللَّهَ وَهِيَ مَخْتُومَةٌ كَمَا قَالَهَا " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ مَالِكُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) transmits this as a marfu' hadith: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever says: 'I declare the glory of Allah Almighty along with His praise, I seek forgiveness from Allah Almighty, and I repent to Him,'" the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: "these words are recorded just as he said them, and then they are hung upon the Throne. Whatever sin the person who said them commits, no such sin erases these words, until, when that person comes before Allah Almighty, these words will be sealed (and that person will be given their reward)."

وَعَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنَّ أَوْفَى كَلِمَةٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَقُولَ الْعَبْدُ : اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي ، وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ ، ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ، وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَنْبِي ، وَلَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، أَيْ رَبِّ فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Malik al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The most complete word in the sight of Allah Almighty is that the servant says: 'O Allah! Indeed You are my Lord and I am Your servant. I have wronged myself, and I confess my sin, and none can forgive sins except You. O my Lord! Forgive my sins.'"

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : لَا يَقُولُ رَجُلٌ : أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ; إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فَرَّ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ مَوْقُوفًا ، وَرِجَالُهُ وُثِّقُوا .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Whoever recites this three times: "I seek forgiveness from Allah Almighty, besides whom there is no god, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting, and I repent to Him," that person is forgiven, even if he has fled from the battlefield.
