Seeking forgiveness and repentance

241

The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: By Allah, I seek forgiveness and repent to Allah, more than seventy times a day.

242

He (saw) also said: O People, Repent! Verily I repent to Allah, a hundred times a day.

243

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إلَّا هُوَ الحَيُّ القَيّوُمُ وأَتُوبُ إِلَيهِ

He (saw) also said: Whoever says: I seek Allah's forgiveness, besides whom, none has the right to be worshipped except He, The Ever Living, The Self-Subsisting and Supporter of all, and I turn to Him in repentance. Allah would forgive him even if he was one who fled during the advance of an army.

244

He (saw) said: The nearest the Lord comes to His servant is in the middle of the night, so if you are able to be of those who remember Allah at that time, then be so.

245

He (saw) also said: The nearest a servant is to his Lord is when he is prostrating, so supplicate much therein.

246

He (saw) also said: verily my heart becomes preoccupied, and verily I seek Allah's forgiveness a hundred times a day.
