Question

Kindly provide the reference and authenticity of the du’a to recite on Laylatul Qadr:

اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فاعف عني

 

Answer

Imam Tirmidhi, Imam Ibn Majah and other Muhaddithun have recorded this Hadith. Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has declared the Hadith authentic (hasanun sahih).

Sayyidah ‘Aishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) once asked Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), “O Messenger of Allah, what should I say if I know that it is Laylatul Qadr?” Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) replied:

«اللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي»

Transliteration: Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘annni

Translation: “O Allah, You are Most Forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me.”

(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 3513, Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 3850)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

سنن الترمذي:
(٣٥١٣) – حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، قال: حدثنا جعفر بن سليمان الضبعي، عن كهمس بن الحسن، عن عبد الله بن بريدة، عن عائشة، قالت: قلت: يا رسول الله أرأيت إن علمت أي ليلة ليلة القدر ما أقول فيها؟ قال: «قولي: اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فاعف عني».
هذا حديث حسن صحيح.

عن عائشة، أنها قالت: يا رسول الله، أرأيت إن وافقت ليلة القدر، ما أدعو؟ قال: «تقولين: اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فاعف عني».
