[1812] 201 - (771) It was narrated from 'Alî bin Abî Ṭalib
that when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ got up to pray, he said: "Wajjahtu wajhia lilladhi fataras-samāwāti wal-arda ḥanīfan wa mā anā min al-mushrikīn, inna ṣalāti wa nusukī wa mahyāya wa mamātī lillāhi rabbil-‘ālamīn, lā sharīka lahu wa bidḥalīka umirtu wa anā min al-muslimīn. Allāhumma antal-malīku lā ilaha illā ant, anta rabbī, wa anā ‘abduka zalamtu nafsi wā’tarafu bidḥanbī fāghfirlū dhunūbī jamī’an, innahu lā yaghfir adh-dhunūba illā ant. Wāḥdinī li-aḥsanil-akhḻāqī lā yahdī li-aḥsanīhā illā ant, wāṣrif ‘annī sayyi’ahā, lā taṣrifu ‘annī sayyi’ahā illā ant. Labaika wa sa’dāika, wal-khairu kulluhu fī yadaika, wash-sharru laisa ilaik, wa anā bika wa ilaik, tabārakta wa ta’ālāita astaghfiruka wa atūbu ilaik." (I have turned my face in submission to the One who originated the heavens and the earth, and I am not one of the idolators. Verily, my Ṣalāt (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allāh, the Lord of the ‘Ālamīn (mankind, jinn and all that exists). He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am one of the Muslims. O Allāh, You are the Sovereign, there is none worthy of worship but You. You are my Lord and I am Your slave. I have wronged myself and I admit my sin, so forgive me all my sins, for no one can forgive
sins except You. Guide me to the best of conduct, for none can guide to that except You. Remove from me my evil deeds, for none can remove them except You. Here I am at Your service, all goodness is in Your hand and evil cannot be attributed to You. My existence is due to You and my return is to You. Blessed and exalted are You, I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You.) When he bowed, he said: "Allâhumma laka raka'tu ba bika âmantu wa laka aslamtu khasha'a laka sam'i wa bašarî wa mukhkhî wa 'azmî, wa 'ašbî (O Allâh, to You I have bowed, in You I have believed and to You I have submitted. My hearing, my sight, my brain, my bones and my sinews submit to You.) When he rose from bowing he said: "Allâhumma rabbanâ lakal-hamdu mil'as-samâwâti wal-ardi wa mil'a mâ bainahumâ, wa mil'a mâ shi'ta min shai'in ba'd." (O Allâh our Lord, to You be praise, filling the heavens, filling the earth, filling that which is between them and filling whatever else You will besides.) When he prostrated he said: "Allâhumma laka sajadtu wa bika âmantu wa laka aslamtu, sajada wajhî lilladhî khalaqahu wa suwwarahu wa shaqqa sam'ahu wa bašarahu tabârak Allâhu ahsanul-khâliqîn." (O Allâh, to You I have prostrated, in You I have believed and to You I have submitted. My
face has prostrated to the One Who created it and gave it shape, and opened its hearing and sight. Blessed be Allâh, the Best of creators.) Then the last thing he said between the Tashah-hud and the Taslîm was: "Allâhummaghfirlî mâ qaddamtu wa mâ akhkhartu wa mâ asrartu wa mâ a'lantu wa mâ asraftu, wa mâ anta a'lamu bihi minnî antal-muqaddimu wa antal-mu'akhkhiru, lâ ilâha illa ant." (O Allâh, forgive me my past and future sins, what I have done in secret and what I have done openly, what I have transgressed and what you know more than I. You are the One who brings forward and the One Who puts back, there is none worthy of worship but You.)
