Sunan an-Nasai 1344 (Book 13, Hadith 166) #15952
Seeking Forgiveness and Preserving Good Deeds

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that saying good words and seeking forgiveness from Allah is a way to preserve one's good deeds until the Day of Resurrection, and any other words said can be an expiation for them.

It was narrated from Aishah that: When the Messenger of Allah sat in a gathering or prayed, he said some words, and 'Aishah asked him about those words. He said: "If he has spoken some good words (and he says this statement of remembrance), it will be a seal for them to preserve them until the Day of Resurrection, and if he has said something other than that, it (these words) will be an expiation for him: 'Subhanak Allahumma wa bihamdika, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk (Glory and praise be to You, O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You)'"
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّاغَانِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، مَنْصُورُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَلاَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، - قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْخَائِفِينَ - عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ إِذَا جَلَسَ مَجْلِسًا أَوْ صَلَّى تَكَلَّمَ بِكَلِمَاتٍ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ عَنِ الْكَلِمَاتِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِخَيْرٍ كَانَ طَابِعًا عَلَيْهِنَّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ كَانَ كَفَّارَةً لَهُ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of saying good words and seeking forgiveness from Allah. It was narrated by Aishah that when the Prophet Muhammad sat in a gathering or prayed, he would say some words as a form of remembrance. When 'Aishah asked him about these words, he explained that if someone speaks some good words then it will be preserved until the Day of Resurrection. Additionally, if someone says something other than these good words then it will be an expiation for them. The Prophet Muhammad taught us to say "Subhanak Allahumma wa bihamdika, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk" which translates to "Glory and praise be to You, O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You". This phrase is meant as a reminder for us to always seek forgiveness from Allah no matter what we have done wrong in our lives. By doing this we can ensure that our good deeds are preserved until the Day of Resurrection while also being forgiven for any wrongdoings we may have committed in life.
