Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

Shaddad ibn Aws (Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said,



“The best of forgiveness (sayyid al-istighfar) is to say, http://www.sunnipath.com/resources/Q...s/mp3-play.gif



اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لا إِلَهَ إِلا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلا أَنْتَ



‘O Allah! You are my Lord. There is no god but. You created me and I am Your slave. I am on Your covenant and promise as much as I am able. I seek refuge in you from the wrongs I have done. I admit to You all the blessings You have bestowed upon me, and I admit to You my sins. So forgive me, for none forgives sins but You.’ ”



The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) then said,



“Whoever says it during the day, with conviction, and then dies that day before night falls will be of the people of Paradise. And whoever says it at night, with conviction, and then dies before day break will be of the people of Paradise.” [Bukhari (6306), Tirmidhi (3393), Nasa’i (5522), and Ahmad (16662)]



Imam Badr al-Din al-`Ayni (762 AH – 855 AH) explains in his commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, Umdat al-Qari (22.278, Beirut, Dar Ihya al-Turath) that this is the best of supplications of forgiveness, for the sayyid (master) is the one who is sought in need and able to fulfil the needs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used this particular expression (literally, ‘the master of supplications’) to indicate that this is the best of supplications for those in need, and which will fulfil the need—sincere seeking of forgiveness.



With this, the best of supplication is heart-felt beseeching from Allah.



And Allah alone gives success.
