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

00:00:06.049 --> 00:00:10.179
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

00:00:10.179 --> 00:00:13.210
"The master supplication for seeking forgiveness is to say:

00:00:13.210 --> 00:00:18.269
'O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no deity worthy of worship except You.

00:00:18.269 --> 00:00:21.269
You created me, and I am Your servant,

00:00:21.269 --> 00:00:25.269
and I abide by Your covenant and promise as best I can.

00:00:25.269 --> 00:00:29.399
I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done.

00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.399
I fully acknowledge Your favor upon me,

00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.399
and I acknowledge my sin,

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:37.399
so forgive me,

00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:41.399
for none forgives sins except You.'

00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:46.399
He said: 'Whoever recites it during the day with firm faith in it,

00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:50.399
and dies that day before evening falls,

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.399
will be among the people of Paradise.

00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:57.399
And whoever recites it during the night with firm faith in it,

00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:02.399
and dies before morning breaks, will be among the people of Paradise.'"
