It is recommended to supplicate often during all times, especially during the
month of Ramadan, in the last ten nights, and during the odd nights of it even
more so. It is recommended that one say the following supplication a lot: "O
Allah! Verily, You are the Oft-Pardoning, You love to pardon, so pardon me.''
This is due to what Imam Ahmad recorded from `A'ishah, that she said, "O
Messenger of Allah! If I find the Night of Al-Qadr what should I say'' He
replied,
«قُولِي: اللْهُمَّ
إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي»
(Say: "O Allah! Verily, You are the Oft-Pardoning, You love to pardon, so
pardon me.'') At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah have all recorded this
Hadith. At-Tirmidhi said, "This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.'' Al-Hakim recorded it in
his Mustadrak (with a different chain of narration) and he said that it is
authentic according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
An-Nasa'i also recorded it. This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Laylat
Al-Qadr, and all praise and blessings are due to Allah.
