حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، - اسْمُهُ شَدَّادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ - عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ اسْتَغْفَرَ ثَلاَثًا وَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ تَبَارَكْتَ ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ فَقُلْتُ لِلأَوْزَاعِيِّ كَيْفَ الاِسْتِغْفَارُ قَالَ تَقُولُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ ‏.‏

Translation

Dawud ibn Rushayd narrated to us: al-Walid narrated to us, from al-Awza‘i, from Abu Ammar—whose name was Shaddad ibn Abdullah—from Abu Asma, from Thawban, who said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished his prayer, he asked forgiveness three times and said, “O Allah, You are Peace, and from You is peace. Blessed are You, Possessor of Majesty and Honor.” Al-Walid said: I asked al-Awza‘i, “How does one ask forgiveness?” He replied, “Say: I ask Allah for forgiveness; I ask Allah for forgiveness.”
