Source & Authentication

Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that he saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) making wudu. When he finished, he lifted his gaze to the sky and said: 'Allahummaghfir li dhambi wa wassi' li fi dari wa barik li fi rizqi.' (O Allah, forgive my sin, make my home spacious for me, and bless me in my provision.) I said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, why do you not say it three times?' He said: 'Indeed, Allah is the One Who answers, and He is the Gracious, the Bountiful.'
