Al-Adab Al-Mufrad — Hadith #47122

Abu Muammar told us, he said: Abdul-Warith told us, he said: Husayn told us, he said: Abdullah bin Buraidah told us, he said: He told me Bashir bin Ka’b Al-Adawi said: Shaddad bin Aws told me, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, who said: The master of seeking forgiveness is to say: Oh God, You are my Lord, there is no god but You, You created me and I am Your servant, and I adhere to Your covenant and promise as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done, I acknowledge your grace, and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for no one forgives sins except you. He said: Who said it? The day He is certain of it, and he dies that day before the evening comes, then he will be one of the people of Paradise, and whoever says it during the night while being certain of it, he will die before that. In the morning, he will be one of the people of Paradise.
