Glory is to You, O Allah, and praise; I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.

Hadith about the Dua
Arabic Text
عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: "مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُسْبِغُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ". وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِلنَّسَائِيِّ: "اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ التَّوَّابِينَ وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ".
'Umar ibn al-Khattab narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There is not one of you who performs ablution and perfects the ablution, then says: 'Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu (I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger),' except that the eight gates of Paradise are opened for him and he may enter by whichever of them he wishes." And in the narration of An-Nasa'i: "(O Allah, make me among those who repent often and make me among those who purify themselves.)" (Sahih Muslim 234, Sunan an-Nasa'i 148)
