898. It was narrated from 'Alî, may Allâh be pleased with him, that the when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ started to pray, he would say Takbîr, then say: "Wajahtu wajhi lilladhî faṭaras-samâwâtîwal-arḍa ḥanîfan wa mā anâ minal-mushrikîn. Inna ṣalâtî wa nusukî wa mahyâya wamamâtî lillâhi rabbîl-âlamîn, lâ sharîka lahu, wa bidḥâlika umirtu wa anâ min al-muslimîn. Allâhumma! Antal-maliku lâ ilâha illâ ant, anâ 'abduka zalamtu nafsi wa'tarafu bidḥanbî faghfirlî dhunûbî jamî'an, lâ yaghfirudh-dhunûba illâ anta, wahdinî liḥsanîl-akhlaqî, lâ yahdî li aḥsanîhâ illâ anta waṣrif 'annî sayy'ahâ lâ yaṣrifu 'annî sayy'ahâ illâ anta, labaika wa sa'daika, wal-khairu kulluhu fî yadaika wash-sharru laisa ilaika anâ bika wa ilaika tabârakta wa ta'âlaita astaghfiruka wa atûbu ilaik. (Verily, I have turned my face toward Him Who has created the heavens and the Earth Ḥanîfa (worshipping none but Allâh Alone), and I am not of the idolaters'. Verily, my Ṣalâh, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allâh, the Lord of the all that exists. He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded,[1] and I am one of the Muslims. O Allâh, You are the Sovereign and there is none worthy of worship but You. I am Your slave, I have wronged myself and I acknowledge my sin. Forgive me all my sins for no one forgives sins but You. Guide me to the best of manners for none can guide to the best of them but You. Protect me from bad manners for none can protect against them but You. I am at Your service, all goodness is in Your hands, and evil is not to be attributed to You. I rely on You and turn to You, blessed and exalted are You, I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You.”(Sahih)
