3421. 'Alī bin Abī Tālib narrated that whenever the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would stand for Ṣalāt, he would say: "I have directed my face towards the One who created the Heavens and the earth, as a Ḥanīf, and I am not of the idolaters. Indeed, my Ṣalāt, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying is for Allāh, the Lord of all that exists, there is no partner for Him, and with this have I been ordered, and I among the Muslims. O Allāh, You are the King, there is none worthy of worship except You. You are My Lord, and I am Your slave, I have wronged myself, and I admit to my sin, so forgive me all my sins, verily, there is none who forgives sins but You. And guide me to the best of manners, none guides to the best of them except You, and turn the evil of them away from me, [verily,] none can turn the evil of them away from me except You. I have believed in You, Blessed are You and Exalted are You, I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to you (Wajjahtu Wajhi Lilladhi Faṭaras-Samāwāti Wal-Arḍa Ḥanīfan Wa Mā Anā Min Al-Mushrikīn, Inna Ṣalāti Wa Nusukī Wa Mahyāya Wa Mamātī Lillāhi Rabbil-ʿAlamīn, Lā Sharīka Lahu Wa Bidhalīka Umirtu Wa Ana Min Al-Muslimīn. Allāhumma Antal-Maliku Lā Ilāha Illā Ant, Anta Rabbi, Wa Ana ʿAbduka Zalamtu Nafsi Waʿtarafu Bidhanbī Faghfīrli Dhunūbī Jamīʿan, Innahu Lā Yaghfir Adh-Dhunūba Illā Ant. Wāhdīnī Li-Aḥsanil-Akhlaqī Lā Yahdī Li-Aḥsanihā Illā Ant. Wāṣrif ʿAnnī Sayyīʾahā [Innahu] Lā Yaṣrifu ʿAnnī Sayyīʾahā Illā Ant. Āmantu Bika Tabārakta Wa Taʿālaita Astaghfiruka Wa Atūbu Ilaik)." And when he would bow in Rukūʿ, he would say: "O Allāh, to You I have bowed, and in You I believe, and to You have I submitted. My hearing, my sight, my brain, my bones, and my sinew are humbled to you (Allāhumma Laka Rakaʿtu Wa Bika Āmantu Wa Laka Aslamtu Khashaʿa Laka Samʿi Wa Baṣārī Wa Mukhkhī Wa ‘Azmi, Wa ‘Aṣabi)” Then when he would raise his head, he would say: “O Allāh, our Lord, to You is praise the fill of the Heavens and the earths and the fill of whatever You will of things. (Allāhumma Rabbanā Lakal-Ḥamdu Mil’as-Samāwāti Wal-Arḍīna Wa Mā Bainahumā, Wa Mil’a Mā Shi’ta Min Shaī).” Then, when he prostrated, he would say: “O Allāh, to You have I prostrated, and in You have I believed, and to You have I submitted, my face has prostrated to the One Who created it and fashioned it, and gave it its hearing and its sight. So Blessed is Allāh, the Best of creators (Allāhumma Laka Sajadtu Wa Bika Amantu Wa Laka Aslamtu, Sajada Wajhi Lilladhī Khalaqahu Wa Ṣuwwarahu Wa Shaqqa Sam’ahu Wa Baṣarahu Fatabārak Allāhu Aḥsanul-Khāliqīn).” Then the last of what he would say between At-Tashah-hud and As-Salām would be: “O Allāh, forgive me what I have done before and after, and what I have hidden and what I have done openly, and what You know more of it than I, You are the One who sends forth and the One who delays, there is none worthy of worship except You. (Allāhummaghfīrī Mā Qaddamtu Wa Mā Akhkhartu Wa Mā Asrartu Wa Mā A’lantu Wa Mā Anta A’lamu Bihi Minnī Antal-Muqaddimu Wa Antal-Mu’akhkhīru, Lā Ilāha Illā Ant).” (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
