Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29551

Al-Hussein bin Harith told us, Abdul Aziz bin Abi Hazim told us, on the authority of Kathir bin Zaid, on the authority of Uthman bin Rabi’ah, on the authority of Shaddad bin Aws, may God be pleased with him, said that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to him, “Shall I not direct you to the master of seeking forgiveness? O God, you are my Lord, there is no god but You.” You created me and I am Your servant, and I abide by Your covenant and promise as much as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done, and I seek refuge in You by Your grace upon me. And I confess my sins, so forgive me my sins, for no one forgives sins except You. None of you should say it in the evening, lest fate come upon him before he arrives. He does not say it in the morning, and a decree comes upon him before the evening, unless Paradise becomes obligatory for him.” He said, and on the authority of Abu Hurairah, Ibn Omar, Ibn Masoud, Ibn Abza, and Buraidah, may God be pleased with them. He said, “This is a hasan ghareeb hadith.” And Abdul Al-Aziz bin Abi Hazim is the son of Abi Hazim Al-Zahid. This hadith was narrated through a different chain of transmission, on the authority of Shaddad bin Aws, may God be pleased with him. .
