Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 689

Ibn al-Muthanna related to us: ‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Abd al-Majid related to us: Isra’il related to us: Abu Ishaq related to us, from Abu Bakr ibn Abi Musa and Abu Burda—I think the chain goes from him to Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari—from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who used to supplicate: “O Allah, forgive me for my sin, my ignorance, my excess in my affairs, and what You know better than I do. O Allah, forgive me for what I do in jest and in earnest, my mistakes and what I do deliberately; all of that is in me.”
