Invocations after the final Tash-ahhud and before ending the prayer — Du'a 9

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسأَلُكَ يَا أَللَّهُ بِأَنَّكَ الوَاحِدُ الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَم يَلِد وَلَم يولَد، وَلَم يَكن لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ، أَن تَغفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الغَفُورُ الرَّحِّيمُ

Pronunciation

Allahumma innee as-aluka ya Allah bi-annakal-wahidul-ahadus-samad, allathee lam yalid walam yoolad, walam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad, an taghfira lee thunoobee innaka antal-Ghafoorur-Raheem

English meaning

O Allah, I ask You O Allah, as You are The One, The Only, AS-Samad, The One who begets not, nor was He begotten and there is none like unto Him that You forgive me my sins for verily You are The Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.)(AS-Samad: The Self-Sufficient Master, Possessor of perfect attributes whom all of creation turn to in all their needs.

Explanation (Tafseer)

This appeal grounds a request for forgiveness in the affirmation that Allah is One, unique, and As-Samad, without offspring, parentage, or equal. It closes by calling upon Him as the Oft-Forgiving and Most-Merciful, linking the declaration of His uniqueness to the plea for pardon.
