Narrated Abu Bakr As-Siddiq [RA]

I asked Allah’s Apostle [SAWS] to teach me an invocation so that I may invoke Allah with it in my prayer. He told me to say,

“Oh Allah, Indeed I have wronged myself excessively. And no one can forgive sins except You. So forgive me with forgiveness from Yourself and have mercy upon me. Surely, You are the Most-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

Sahih Bukhari (Book #12, Hadith #796)
