3835. It was narrated from Abu Bakr Siddiq that he said to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ: "Teach me a supplication which I can say during my prayer." He said: "Say: Allâhumma inni zalamtu nafsi zulman kathiran wa lâ yaghfirudh-dhunub illa Anta, faghfirlî maghfiratan min 'indika warhamni, innaka Antal-Ghafur-Rahim (O Allâh, I have wronged myself
greatly and no one forgives sins but You, so grant me forgiveness from You and have mercy on me, for You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful)." (Sahih)
