Astaghfirullah Rabbi Min Kulli Dhanbin \u2013 Arabic Dua for Seeking Forgiveness<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Here is the supplication in Arabic:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u0623\u0633\u0652\u062a\u064e\u063a\u0652\u0641\u0650\u0631\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u064e \u0631\u064e\u0628\u0650\u0651\u064a \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0643\u064f\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0630\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0628\u064d \u0648\u064e\u0623\u064e\u062a\u064f\u0648\u0628\u064f \u0625\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0647\u0650<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Transliteration:<\/em><\/span> Astaghfirullah rabbi min kulli dhanbin wa atoobu ilaihi<\/span><\/div>\n
Translation:<\/em><\/span> I seek forgiveness from Allah, my Lord, for every sin, and I turn to Him in repentance.<\/span><\/div>\n
This beautiful dua is a powerful expression of humility and devotion. It reflects the constant turning back to Allah, acknowledging one\u2019s shortcomings, and seeking His mercy. Though not directly narrated as a specific saying of the Prophet (\ufdfa) in authentic hadith collections, its wording is consistent with the Quran and Sunnah in both meaning and spirit.<\/span><\/div>\n
Allah Almighty reminds us in Surah Muhammad, verse 19:<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
“So know, [O Muhammad], that there is no deity except Allah and ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing women. And Allah knows of your movement and your resting place.”<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Additionally, in Sahih al-Tirmidhi (Hadith 3259), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) said: <\/span>“Indeed, I seek forgiveness from Allah seventy times a day.”<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Some narrations mention up to a hundred times. This shows the profound humility and constant awareness of Allah demonstrated by the Prophet (\ufdfa)\u2014a man whose entry into Paradise was divinely guaranteed\u2014yet he remained steadfast in seeking forgiveness daily.<\/span><\/div>\n
If the Prophet (\ufdfa), pure and exalted as he was, felt the need to renew his repentance so frequently, how much more should we, who are burdened with sins and shortcomings, strive to do the same?<\/span><\/div>\n
It is highly recommended to recite this dua regularly throughout the day\u2014upon waking, after prayers, before sleeping, or at any moment of reflection. Doing so strengthens one\u2019s connection with Allah and cultivates a heart filled with remorse, hope, and tawbah (repentance).<\/span><\/div>\n
A Word of Caution: False Narrations<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
While the Arabic text and translation of this dua are correct and appropriate to recite, it is important to address a widespread misconception. Numerous social media posts\u2014shared widely on platforms like Facebook and Twitter\u2014have falsely attributed this dua to a fabricated hadith involving Imam Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).<\/span><\/div>\n
The fabricated narration claims the Prophet (\ufdfa) told Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) not to sleep before completing five tasks, one of which includes saying a version of this dua ten times, with promises of great rewards.<\/span><\/div>\n
However, this entire chain of narration is <\/span>unauthentic<\/strong><\/span> and has no basis in reliable hadith sources. Many such posts do not cite any credible reference, which should immediately raise suspicion.<\/span><\/div>\n
The Prophet (\ufdfa) clearly warned:<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWhoever deliberately tells a lie against me, let him take his seat in the Fire.\u201d \u2014 <\/span>Sahih al-Bukhari 106, Book 3, Hadith 48<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Therefore, while the dua itself is permissible and beneficial, we must be careful not to associate it with false or invented hadiths. Reciting it is not an act of bid\u2019ah (religious innovation) if done with the correct intention and understanding\u2014but attributing it to a fabricated source would be.<\/span><\/div>\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Let us embrace this meaningful dua as part of our daily worship, not because of unverified stories, but because it aligns perfectly with the Quranic command to seek forgiveness and follow the Sunnah of constant repentance. Let our hearts remain soft, our tongues active in dhikr, and our souls eager for Allah\u2019s mercy.<\/span><\/div>\n
Recite it often. Mean it deeply. And turn to Allah sincerely\u2014again and again.<\/span><\/div>\n
