    Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah. [40]
    • Translation: “I seek Allah’s forgiveness, I seek Allah’s forgiveness, I seek Allah’s forgiveness.”
    • When to recite: Recite this dhikr immediately after completing each Salat. [41] Optionally, follow it with the Allahumma Antas Du’a. Thauban reported that “Whenever the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) finished his Salat (prayer), he would beg forgiveness three times [by saying, 'Astaghfirullah' (3 times)] and then he would say: ‘Allahumma Antas-Salamu, wa minkas-Salamu, tabarakta ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram. (O Allah! You are the Bestower of security and security comes from You; Blessed are You. O Possessor of glory and honor)’” (Book 19, Hadith 8). [42]
    • Benefits: By repeating this dhikr after Salah, you follow the way of the Prophet (ﷺ) and Allah will grant you His forgiveness.
