"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بيَدِى ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَات تَقُولُهنَّ لَوْ كَانَتْ ذُنُوبك كَعَدَدِ النَّحْلِ أَوْ كَذَبِّ الذَّرِّ لَغَفَرَهَا الله لَكَ؟: اللَّهُمَّ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبحَانَكَ، عَمِلْتُ سُوءًا وَظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى فَاغْفِرْ لِى، إِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ".

Ali said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took my hand and said: "Shall I teach you words which, if your sins were as many as the number of ants or the weight of atoms, Allah would forgive them for you? Say: 'Allahumma la ilaha illa Anta, subhanaka, 'amiltu su'an wa zalamtu nafsi, faghfir li, innahu la yaghfiru adh-dhunuba illa Anta.'" (O Allah, there is no god but You, glory be to You. I have done evil and wronged myself, so forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.)
