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.
Reference: Sahih Bukhari 834
