Whosoever does this will be assured that his supplications are answered.[^11] One should then say the following three hundred times: اَلْعَفْوُ “I ask for forgiveness.” Following this, the following should be said once: رَبَّ اغْفِرْلِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَتُبْ عَلَيِّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوٌابُ الرَّحِيمِ “Lord, please forgive me and have mercy upon me and turn back towards me.

Verily You are the Oft-Turning back, Most Merciful” [^12] It has been mentioned that Imam `Ali ibn al-Husain as-Sajjad (peace be upon him) used to recite the following line three hundred times in his Qunut during the Salat al-Witr: اَلْعَفْوُ “I ask for forgiveness.” [^13] Allamah Majlisi has mentioned that the word (اَلْعَفْوُ) can also be recited as (اَلْعَفْوَ) (with a fathah instead of a dhammah) on the last letter.

* Please do not forget this humble servant of Allah (Glory and Greatness be to Him) in your prayers and especially in the blessed Qunut of the Salat Al-Layl.
