55. Dua before Salam
Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) entered the mosque. Then a person is reciting Tashahhud towards the end of the prayer. He said -
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ بِأَنَّكَ الْوَاحِدُ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

Allaahumma inni as'aluka ya Allahu bi annakal Wahidul-Ahad us-Samadulla-dhi lam yalid wa lam yowlad, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad, an taghfirali dhunubi, innaka antal-Ghafurur-Rahim
Dua before Salam English Translation
O Allah, I ask of You, O Allah, as You are the One, the Only, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who begets not nor was He begotten, and there is None equal or comparable to Him, forgive me my sins, for You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "He has been forgiven," three times.
Hadith about the Dua
Arabic Text
عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ، قَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ»
Mu'adh bin Jabal narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) heard a man saying in his prayer: "O Allah, I ask You, O Allah, the One, the Only, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who was not begotten and begets not, and there is none comparable to Him, to forgive me my sins. Indeed, You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." So the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "He has been forgiven, he has been forgiven."
