Question

What is the reference for this du’a?

اللهم اجعلني من الذين إذا أحسنوا استبشروا، وإذا أساؤوا استغفروا

 

Answer

Imam Ibn Majah, Imam Ahmad (rahimahumallah) and other Muhaddithun have recorded this du’a.

Sayyidah ‘Aishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) reported that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would say:

اللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَحْسَنُوا اسْتَبْشَرُوا، وَإِذَا أَسَاؤوا اسْتَغْفَرُوا

Transliteration: Allahummaj’alni minal ladhina idha ahsanu istabsharu wa idha asa-u istaghfaru.

Translation: O Allah, make me among those who, when they do good, rejoice, and when they do wrong, seek forgiveness.

(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 3820, Musnad Ahmad, vol. 6, pg. 129, Hadith: 24980)

The du’a is suitable for practice.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
