Section: Duas to be recited for the welfare of others
Abdullah bin Sarjis (RA) said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): "O Messenger of Allah! -
غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ
غَفَرَ اللّٰهُ لَكَ
Ghafar-Allahu lak
May Allah forgive you.
In response, The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
وَلَكَ
وَلَكَ
Wa lak
May Allah forgive you too. [1]
When the people heard this, they said, Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) seek forgiveness for you? He said: Yes, and also for you all. Then he then recited this verse। [2]
وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
Ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing women. (Surah Muhammad 47:19)
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Whoever some good was done to him, and he says:
جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا
جَزَاكَ اللّٰهُ خَيْرًا
JazaakAllahu khayran
May Allah reward you with good.
Then he has done the most that he can of praise.
Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone learns by heart the first ten verses of the Surah al-Kahf, he will be protected from the Dajjal.
