Any time, and after a sin
Seeking forgiveness: every dhikr, with a counter
Istighfar: asking Allah’s forgiveness, which the Prophet ﷺ asked more than seventy times a day (Sahih al-Bukhari 6307).
Tap the number under each dhikr every time you say it. It turns to “Done” at the count the book gives. 0 of 7 done today.

More than seventy times a day
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَسْتَغفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةٍ)).
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: By Allah, I ask Allah’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance more than seventy times a day.
O people, turn to Allah
وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ فَإِنِّي أَتُوبُ فِي الْيَوْمِ إِلَيْهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ)).
The Prophet ﷺ said: O people, turn to Allah in repentance, for I turn to Him a hundred times a day.
Astaghfirullahal-‘azimal-ladhi la ilaha illa huwal-hayyul-qayyum
وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((مَنْ قَالَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الْعَظيمَ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ القَيّوُمُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيهِ، غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَرَّ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ)).
Astaghfirullahal-‘azimal-ladhi la ilaha illa huwal-hayyul-qayyumu wa atubu ilayh.
The Prophet ﷺ said: Whoever says “I ask forgiveness of Allah the Almighty, besides whom there is no god, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all, and I turn to Him in repentance” is forgiven, even if he has run away from battle.
In the last part of the night
وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الْعَبْدِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ فَكُنْ)).
The Prophet ﷺ said: The Lord is nearest to His servant in the last part of the night, so if you can be one of those who remember Allah at that hour, then be one.
Nearest to his Lord in sujood
وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَأَكثِرُوا الدُّعَاءَ)).
The Prophet ﷺ said: A servant is nearest to his Lord when he is prostrating, so make plenty of dua then.
A hundred times a day
وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((إِنَّهُ لَيُغَانُ عَلَى قَلْبِي وَإِنِّي لأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ فِي الْيَوْمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ)).
The Prophet ﷺ said: A covering comes over my heart, and I ask Allah’s forgiveness a hundred times a day.
Wudu, two rak‘ahs and asking forgiveness
((مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُذنِبُ ذَنْباً فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ إِلاَّ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ)).
There is no servant who commits a sin, then makes wudu well, stands and prays two rak‘ahs, and then asks Allah’s forgiveness, but Allah forgives him.
From Hisn al-Muslim, chapter 129 (Asking forgiveness and repenting), 44 (After committing a sin). Entries we can’t confirm a reference for are left out.
