حَدَّثَنَا یَحْیَی بْنُ سُلَیْمَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَھْبٍ ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِيْ عَمْرٌو، عَنْ یَزِیْدَ بْنِ أَبِيْ حَبِیْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَیْرِ، أَنَہُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَاللہِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُوْبَکْرِ ؓ للِنَّبِيَّ ﷺ: عَلَّمْنِيْ دُعَاءً أَدْعُوْبِہِ فَيْ صَلَاتِیْ ، قَّالَ: ((قُلِ : الَلَّھُمَّ إِنَّيْ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِيْ ظُلْمًا کَثِیْرًا، وَلَا یَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوْبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، فَا غْفِرْ لِيْ مِنْ عِنْدِکَٔ مَغْفِرَۃ،ً إِنَّکَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِیْمُ))
الأدب المفرد · Hadith 706
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr was heard to say, "Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, 'Teach me a supplication which I can use in my prayer.' He said, 'Say, "O Allah, I have wronged myself greatly. Only You forgive wrong actions. Forgive me with forgiveness directly from you. You are the Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful."'"
