Sahih Muslim · 1893
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيَّ الْقَيُّومَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ
Astaghfirullāhal-ʿAẓīm alladhī lā ilāha illā Huwal-Ḥayyul-Qayyūm wa atūbu ilayh
I seek forgiveness from Allah the Magnificent, besides whom none is worthy of worship, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer, and I repent to Him.
