عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ: «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي وَجَهْلِي وَإِسْرَافِي فِي أَمْرِي وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي جَدِّي وَهَزْلِي وَخَطَئِي وَعَمْدِي وكلُّ ذلكَ عِنْدِي اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أعلنت وَمَا أَنْت بِهِ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ وَأَنت على كل شَيْء قدير»

Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari reported that the Prophet ﷺ used to supplicate with these words: “O Allah, forgive my sin, my ignorance, my excess in my affairs, and what You know better than I. O Allah, forgive what I do in earnest and in jest, what I do by mistake and deliberately—all of that is found in me. O Allah, forgive what I have done before and what I do later, what I conceal and what I make public, and what You know better than I. You are the One who brings forward and the One who puts back, and You have power over all things.” Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim; graded agreed upon by al-Albani.
