223 – (ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ) Abu Hurayrah—may Allah be pleased with him—reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Whoever sits in a gathering where there is much idle chatter, and before rising from that gathering says:

Subḥānaka Allāhumma wa bi-ḥamdik, ash-hadu an lā ilāha illā Ant, astaghfiruka wa atūbu ilayk
(Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise is Yours. I testify that there is no god but You. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You),

Allah will erase whatever occurred in that gathering.”
