What to say while sitting in an assembly
Narration
Ibn ʿUmar said: It would be counted that the Messenger of Allah would say one hundred times at any one sitting before getting up:
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنه قَاَلَ: كَانَ يُعَدُّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْمَجْلِسِ الوَاحِدِ مِائَةُ مَرَّةٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَقُومَ:
رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي، وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الغَفُورُ
Rabbi ighfir lī, watub ʿalayya, innaka anta at-tawwābu l-ghafūr
O my Lord, forgive me and turn towards me to accept my repentance. Verily You are The Oft-Returning. The Oft-Forgiving.
Recited by Muhammad Jumah
