فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَارْحَمْنِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
Grant me pardon from Thyself, have mercy upon me for Thou art much Forgiving and Compassionate.

What It Means: Reading in Context
Abu Bakr asks the Prophet to teach him a supplication for use in prayer. This excerpt is its closing plea. The full prayer first acknowledges wrongdoing and that Allah alone forgives sins; those admissions remain part of the supplication. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 2705a. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
