Arabic hadith text

.وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِنَّهُ لَيُغَانُ عَلَى قَلْبِي وَإِنِّي لأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ فِي الْيَوْمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ.

Translation

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Something comes over my heart, and I seek the forgiveness of Allah one hundred times a day.”

Translation notes
  • .وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِنَّهُ لَيُغَانُ عَلَى قَلْبِي وَإِنِّي لأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ فِي الْيَوْمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ.

    The verb yughānu is difficult to render directly; the witness paraphrases it as a burden caused by not seeking forgiveness, while the Arabic states the experience and then mentions seeking forgiveness.

    Which established English rendering of yughānu should be used here?
