It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) and a woman from Banu Qais that they heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) making this supplication. One of them said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication: "O Allah! Forgive my sin, what I have done unintentionally and what I have done deliberately." The other said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication: "O Allah! I seek guidance from You for the best of my affairs, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own self."
