 Today’s Beautiful Hadith is about Forgiveness

Thauban (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) finished his Salat (prayer), he would beg forgiveness three times [by saying, 'Astaghfirullah' (3 times)] and then he would say: "Allahumma Antas-Salamu, wa minkas-Salamu, tabarakta ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram. (O Allah! You are the Bestower of security and security comes from You; Blessed are You. O Possessor of glory and honour)." Imam Al-Auza'i (one of the subnarrators) of this Hadith was asked: "How forgiveness should be sought?" He replied: ""I say: Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah (I seek forgiveness from Allah. I seek forgiveness from Allah)."

[Muslim].

(Riyad as-Salihin 1876, Book 19, Hadith 8)

The Arabic of the Astaghfar is:

استغفر الله

And this is the Dua of the Prophet (SAW):

اللهم أنت السلام، ومنك السلام، تباركت يا ياذا الجلال والإكرام‏

Seek Allah’s forgiveness at all times and have hope for His Mercy.
