ANOTHER PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS

Within the devotional rites of Friday, Shaykh al-Tusi, in Misbah al-Mutahajjid, has quoted the following: 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud is reported to have quoted the Holy Prophet (s) as saying: Whoever offers a two-unit prayer on Fridays after the Asr (afternoon) prayer, in the first unit of which he recites Surah al-Fatihah and Ayah al-Kursi and repeats Surah al-Falaq twenty-five times, and in the second unit recites Surah al-Fatihah and Surah al-Tawhid and repeats Surah al-Nas twenty-five times, and repeats the following statement twenty-five times after finishing, will not depart this world before Almighty Allah shows him Paradise in his dreams and shows him his place therein:

لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيْمِ۔

LAA HAWLA WA LAA QUWWATA ILLAA BILLAAHIL A'LIYYIL A'ZEEM.

There is no power and no strength except with Allah, the Most High, the All-magnificent.

Sayyid Ibn Tawus, in Jamal al-Usbu', Chapter 33, has mentioned a form of prayer for forgiveness. About this prayer, he added, "This is a great and noble prayer that is well known by the bearers of the divine secrets. So beware of belittling this prayer." However, refer to the book itself to acquaint yourself with this prayer.
