Hadith Reference From Sahih Bukhari

According to a Hadith Sahih al-Bukhari 6306, Narrated Shaddad bin Aus:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said “The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: ‘Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, Khalaqtani wa ana `Abduka, wa ana `ala `ahdika wa wa`dika mastata`tu, A`udhu bika min Sharri ma sana`tu, abu’u Laka bini`matika `alaiya, wa abu’u laka bidhanbi faghfir lee fa innahu la yaghfiru adhdhunuba illa anta.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) added. “If somebody recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise.”

Seeking forgiveness from Allah is one of the best ways of earning pleasure from Allah. If you have the pleasure of Allah (SWT), not only your problems go away, but also you will be granted Jannah, Insha’Allah.

As we can see the benefit of reciting Allahumma Anta Rabbi Dua, whoever recites it with firm faith in the morning or evening and dies during that morning or evening will enter Jannah. Subhan’Allah.

This beautiful Dua is highly recommended to memorize and recite on a regular basis, and also teach others as well.
