Narrated `A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say when he was in Ruku' (bowing) and Sujud (prostration): 'Subhanak Allahumma wa bihamdika, Allahumma-ghfirli.' (Glory be to Allah, O Allah, and praise be to Thee. O Allah, forgive me.) He was interpreting the Qur'an. And the hadith transmitted by Abu Rabi' al-'Attar: 'Allahumma-ghfirli dhambihi kullihi, diqqahu wa jillahu, awwalahu wa akhirahu, 'alaniyatihi wa sirrahu.' (O Allah, forgive me for all my sins, the minor and the major, the first and the last, the apparent and the hidden).
