Jami at-Tirmidhi 3434 — What to recite when leaving a gathering?

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْكُوفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوقَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ : " كَانَ يُعَدُّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ الْوَاحِدِ مِائَةُ مَرَّةٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَقُومَ : رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الْغَفُورُ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوقَةَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، نَحْوَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ ، قَالَ : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ .
´Ibn Umar said:` “In one sitting of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), one could count that he said a hundred time, before he would get up: ‘O my Lord, forgive me, and accept my repentance. Verily, You are the Oft-Returning, the Most Forgiving (Rabbighfirlī watub `alayya innaka antat-Tawwābul-Ghafūr).’”

Commentary:
Note:
(There is a difference of opinion regarding whether this hadith is narrated from "Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab" or "Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As," to which the author has alluded.
Al-Mizzi has attributed the narration in Abu Dawud to Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As,
and the narration in Tirmidhi to Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab.)

Benefits and Issues:

➊ Repentance (tawbah) and seeking forgiveness (istighfar) are great acts of virtue.

➋ The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was free from sins, yet he would frequently seek forgiveness, because istighfar is also a means of expressing servitude (‘ubudiyyah), which is greatly beloved to Allah.

➌ Instead of engaging in idle talk, backbiting, and sins in gatherings, it is better to remember Allah and seek forgiveness, so that instead of an increase in sins, one attains pardon and mercy.
