Dua e Masura in Arabic
Narrated by Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddiqرضي الله عنه:
I asked Allah’s Apostle to teach me an invocation so that I may invoke Allah with it in my prayer. He told me to say,
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ظُلْمًا كَثِيرًا وَلاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ، وَارْحَمْنِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
Allahumma inni zalamtu nafsi zulman kathiran, wa la yaghfiruz-zunuba illa anta, faghfir li maghfiratan min indika, warhamni, innaka antal-Ghafurur-Rahim.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الْأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ وَأَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ
O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, keep him safe and pardon him, honor his resting place, widen his entry, wash him with water, snow and ice, and cleanse him of sin as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. Give him a home better than his home, a family better than his family, and a spouse better than his spouse. Admit him to Paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave (and the Fire).
اے اللہ! اسے بخش دے، اس پر رحم فرما، اسے عافیت دے، اسے معاف فرما، اس کی میزبانی کریم بنا، اس کی قبر کشادہ کر، اسے پانی، برف اور اولوں سے دھو دے، اسے گناہوں سے اس طرح پاک کر دے جیسے سفید کپڑا میل سے صاف ہوتا ہے، اسے اس کے گھر سے بہتر گھر عطا کر، اہل خانہ سے بہتر اہل خانہ، اور بیوی سے بہتر بیوی عطا فرما، اور اسے جنت میں داخل فرما اور قبر کے عذاب سے بچا۔
