Question:
We return at the beginning of this episode to a message sent to the program from the listener: Muhammad Saleh from Jizan. Our brother Muhammad raised some of his questions in a previous episode, and in this episode he asks Your Eminence, Shaykh Abdul Aziz, about the supplications of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the times at which he used to make them? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had many supplications he used to make. Whoever reflects on the hadiths reported from him (peace and blessings be upon him) will know this. Among them: he used to supplicate in prostration, saying:

O Lord, forgive me all my sins, small and great, first and last, open and secret.

اللهم اغفر لي ذنبي كله، دقه وجله، وأوله وآخره، وعلانيته وسره

Sahih Muslim 483

He used to make this supplication in his prostration, in the obligatory and voluntary prayers (peace and blessings be upon him).

O Lord, forgive me all my sins, small and great, first and last, open and secret.

اللهم اغفر لي ذنبي كله، دقه وجله، وأوله وآخره وعلانيته وسره

Sahih Muslim 483

And among his supplications (peace and blessings be upon him) was:

Allahumm-aghfir li khati'ati, wajahli, wa israfi fi amri, wa ma Anta a'lamu bihi minni. Allahumm-aghfir li jiddi wa hazli, wa khata'i wa 'amdi, wa kullu dhalika 'indi. Allahumm-aghfir li ma qaddamtu wa ma akhkhartu, wa ma asrartu, wa ma a'lantu, wa ma Anta a'lamu bihi minni. Antal-Muqaddimu, wa Antal-Mu'akhkhiru; wa Anta 'ala kulli shai'in Qadir

اللهم اغفر لي خطيئتي وجهلي، وإسرافي في أمري، وما أنت أعلم به مني، اللهم اغفر لي جدي وهزلي، وخطأي وعمدي، وكل ذلك عندي، اللهم اغفر لي ما قدمت وما أخرت، وما أسررت وما أعلنت، وما أنت أعلم مني، أنت المقدم وأنت المؤخر، وأنت على كل شيء قدير

Riyad as-Salihin 1476

.
And among his supplications (peace and blessings be upon him) at the end of the prayer, before he would say the closing salam, was:

"O Allah, forgive me my former and latter sins, what I have kept secret and what I have done openly, and what I have done extravagance; and what You know better than I do. You are the Advancer, the Delayer, there is no god but You."

اللهم اغفر لي ما قدمت، وما أخرت، وما أسررت وما أعلنت، وما أسرفت، وما أنت أعلم مني، أنت المقدم، وأنت المؤخر لا إله إلا أنت

Sunan Abi Dawud 1509Sahih (Al-Albani)

.
And among his supplications at the end of the prayer, before he would say the closing salam, was:

Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-bukhli, wa a'udhu bika minal-jubni, wa a'udhu bika an uradda ila ardhalil-'umuri, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatid-dunya, wa a'udhu bika min 'adhabil-qabr (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from miserliness, and I seek refuge in You from cowardice, and I seek refuge in You from reaching the age of senility, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of this world, and I seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave)

اللهم إني أعوذ بك من البخل، وأعوذ بك من الجبن، وأعوذ بك أن أرد إلى أرذل العمر، وأعوذ بك من فتنة الدنيا، وأعوذ بك من عذاب القبر

Sunan an-Nasa'i 5445Sahih (Darussalam)

All of this was from his supplications (peace and blessings be upon him). And when he would say the closing salam from the obligatory prayer, he would say:

Astaghfirullah! Astaghfirullah! (I beseech Allah for forgiveness, I beseech Allah for forgiveness)

أستغفر الله أستغفر الله أستغفر الله

Riyad as-Salihin 1415

three times, (peace and blessings be upon him).
And among his supplications (peace and blessings be upon him) was:

I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger, in Your forgiveness from Your punishment, and I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot praise You enough, You are as You have praised yourself.

اللهم إني أعوذ برضاك من سخطك، وبعفوك من عقوبتك، وأعوذ بك منك لا أحصي ثناء عليك، أنت كما أثنيت على نفسك

Sunan an-Nasa'i 169Sahih (Darussalam)

And he would sometimes say:

O Allah, I seek refuge in Thy good pleasure from Thy anger, and in Thy forgiveness from Thy punishment, and I seek refuge in Thy mercy from Thy wrath. I cannot reckon the praise due to Thee. Thou art as Thou hast praised Thyself.

اللهم إني أعوذ برضاك من سخطك، وبمعافاتك من عقوبتك، وأعوذ بك منك لا أحصي ثناءً عليك، أنت كما أثنيت على نفسك
