“Ya Allah! Engkau adalah Tuhanku, tidak ada Tuhan yang berhak disembah kecuali Engkau, Engkaulah yang menciptakan aku. Aku adalah hambaMu. Aku akan setia pada perjanjianku denganMu semampuku. Aku berlindung kepadaMu dari kejelekan yang kuperbuat. Aku mengakui nikmatMu kepadaku dan aku mengakui dosaku, oleh karena itu, ampunilah aku. Sesungguhnya tiada yang mengampuni dosa kecuali Engkau.”
(Barangsiapa membacanya dengan yakin ketika sore hari, lalu ia meninggal dunia pada malam itu, maka ia masuk Surga. Dan demikian juga ketika pagi hari.” HR. Al-Bukhari 7/150)
0 Allah! You are my Cherisher. There is no deity except You. You have created me and I am Your servant and as far as possible, I abide by my solemn promise and covenant (which I made to You). I seek Your protection against the consequences of my wrongdoings. I fully acknowledge the grace You have bestowed upon me and I confess my faults. So pardon me my sins as none besides You can pardon sins.
The Prophet, Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam, 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.”
Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 75, Number 318
Benefit: According to the Hadeeth anyone who recites Sayyidul lstighfaar with conviction and devotion once during the day or night, and if he happens to die on that day or night he will surely enter Jannah.
It is for this reason that it has been named Sayyidul Istighfaar meaning The Chief Form of Repentance.
