What is the reward for reciting the Master Supplication for Forgiveness (Sayyid al-Istighfar) in the morning and evening?

2
00:00:06,049 --> 00:00:10,179
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

3
00:00:10,179 --> 00:00:13,210
"The master supplication for seeking forgiveness is to say:

4
00:00:13,210 --> 00:00:18,269
'O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no deity worthy of worship except You.

5
00:00:18,269 --> 00:00:21,269
You created me, and I am Your servant,

6
00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:25,269
and I abide by Your covenant and promise as best I can.

7
00:00:25,269 --> 00:00:29,399
I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done.

8
00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:32,399
I fully acknowledge Your favor upon me,

9
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:35,399
and I acknowledge my sin,

10
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:37,399
so forgive me,

11
00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:41,399
for none forgives sins except You.'

12
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:46,399
He said: 'Whoever recites it during the day with firm faith in it,

13
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:50,399
and dies that day before evening falls,

14
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:53,399
will be among the people of Paradise.

15
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:57,399
And whoever recites it during the night with firm faith in it,

16
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:02,399
and dies before morning breaks, will be among the people of Paradise.'"
