21 – (Ṣaḥīḥ, authentic) Shaddād ibn Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said:

"Sayyid al-istighfār (the supreme supplication for seeking forgiveness) is:

‘O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no deity but You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I remain, as far as I can, faithful to Your covenant and promise. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favor upon me, and I confess my sin, so forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.’

Whoever says this in the evening and dies that night will enter Paradise, and whoever says it in the morning and dies that day will enter Paradise."
