حَدَّثَناَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْھَیْثَمُ بْنُ جَمِیْلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِيْ حُسَیْنٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِيْ عَمْرُوْبْنُ أَبِيْ سُفْیَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِيْ ھُرَیَرَۃَ ؓ ، عَنِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: ((إِنَّ أَوْفَقَ الدُّعَا ءِ أَنْ یَقُوْلَ: اللَّھُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبَّی ، وَأَنَا عَبْدُکَ،ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِیْ، وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَ نْبِیْ ، لَا یَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوْبِ إِلَٔا أَنْتَ، رَبَّ اغْفِرْ لِيْ))۔
الأدب المفرد · Hadith 667
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The firmest supplication is to say, 'O Allah, you are my Lord and I am Your slave. I have wronged myself and I admit my wrong action. Only You forgive wrong actions, Lord, forgive me.'"
