Ghafar-Allahu lak
May Allah forgive you.
In response, The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
وَلَكَ
وَلَكَ
Wa lak
May Allah forgive you too. [1]
When the people heard this, they said, Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) seek forgiveness for you? He said: Yes, and also for you all. Then he then recited this verse। [2]
وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ

جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا
