Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah for myself and for you. If it were better, it would be: “O Allah, I do not seek forgiveness for you, but I seek forgiveness for you.”
Answer:
I do not know that this is a hadith; it circulates among people, and I do not know that it is a hadith. As long as it is not established as a hadith, it is not what one should supplicate with. Yes. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Its ruling is that one does not supplicate with it, except if a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) precedes it. Yes. So if one of the brothers is looking for a statement about it, a hadith, and a hadith is established with which to supplicate, yes.
