عن أبي موسى رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم أنه كان يدعو بهذا الدعاء :

 [ اللهم اغفر لي خطيئتي وجهلي وإسرافي في أمري وما أنت أعلم به مني اللهم اغفر لي جدي وهزلي وخطئي وعمدي وكل ذلك عندي اللهم اغفر لي ما قدمت وما أخرت وما أسررت وما أعلنت وما أنت أعلم به مني أنت المقدم وأنت المؤخر وأنت على كل شيء قدير ]

Abu Musa,

may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) used to supplicate in these words:

 "O Allah, forgive my faults, my ignorance, my immoderation in my concerns, and whatever You are better aware (of my affairs) than myself. O Allah, grant me forgiveness (of the faults which I committed) seriously or otherwise, and which I committed inadvertently and deliberately. All these (failings) are in me. O Allah, grant me forgiveness from the fault which I did in haste or deferred, which I committed in privacy or in public and whatever You are better aware of (them) than myself. You are the Advancer and the Retarder and over all things You are Omnipotent."
