Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Aziz Ibn Baaz (رحمه الله تعالى ورحمة واسعة) said:
“… Also, ‘Aishah (رضی اللہ عنھا) asked the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) saying, “O Messenger of Allah, what should I say in the Night of Al-Qadr? The Messenger said, “Say, Allahumma Innaka ‘Afuwwun Tuhibbul-’Afwa Fa’fu ‘Anny’ (O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me.)” The companions of Allah’s Messenger and the Salaf (the righteous successors) glorified these ten days and observe during them different kinds of goodness. …”
