3850. It was narrated from 'Āishah that she said: "O Messenger of Allāh, what do you think I should say in my supplication, if I come upon Laylatul-Qadr?" He said: "Say: 'Allāhumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni (O Allāh, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me).'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

3850 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ كَهْمَسِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ وَافَقْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ مَا أَدْعُو؟ قَالَ: " تَقُولِينَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي "
