Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31325 — One who asked the Prophet

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "Teach me a supplication that I may make." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Make this supplication: 'O Allah, I have wronged myself greatly, and only You can forgive sin, so forgive me with Your special forgiveness and have mercy on me. Indeed, You are the Forgiving, the Merciful.'"
