Arabic Text
عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ الْمَجْلِسِ قَالَ: "سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ". فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّكَ لَتَقُولُ قَوْلًا مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُهُ فِيمَا مَضَى؟ قَالَ: "ذَاكَ كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا يَكُونُ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ".
Abu Barzah Al-Aslami narrated: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) got up from a gathering, he would say: “Glory is to You, O Allah, and praise is to You. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.” A man said: “O Messenger of Allah, you say something now that you did not used to say in the past?” He replied: “It is an expiation for what takes place in the gathering.” (Tirmidhi 3433, graded Sahih by Albani)
