Riyad as-Salihin 1469 (Book 16, Hadith 5) #37958
Supplication Upon Entering Islam

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the supplication that a person should recite when they enter the fold of Islam.

Tariq bin Ashyam (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever a man entered the fold of Islam, the Prophet would show him how to perform Salat and then direct him to supplicate: "Allahumm-aghfir li, warhamni, wa-hdini, wa 'afini, warzuqni (O Allah! Forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, guard me against harm and provide me with sustenance and salvation)"'. Muslim. In another narration Tariq said: A man came to the Prophet and said to him: "O Messenger of Allah! What shall I say if I want to pray to my Rabb?" He said, "Say: 'Allahumma-ghfir li, warhamni, wa 'afini, warzuqni (O Allah! Forgive me, have mercy on me, protect me and provide me with sustenance)'. Surely, this supplication is better for you in this life and in the Hereafter".
وعن طارق بن أشيم، رضي الله عنه، قال‏:‏ كان الرجل إذا أسلم علمه النبي ، الصلاة، ثم أمره أن يدعو بهؤلاء الكلمات‏:‏ ‏"‏اللهم اغفر لي، وارحمني، واهدني، وعافني، وارزقني‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ وفي رواية له عن طارق أنه سمع النبي ، وأتاه رجل، فقال‏:‏ يا رسول الله، كيف أقول حين أسأل ربي‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏"‏قل‏:‏ اللهم اغفر لي، وارحمني، وعافني، وارزقني، فإن هؤلاء تجمع لك دنياك وآخرتك‏"‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the supplication that a person should recite when they enter the fold of Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) taught Tariq bin Ashyam to say “Allahumm-aghfir li, warhamni, wa-hdini, wa 'afini, warzuqni” which translates to “O Allah! Forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, guard me against harm and provide me with sustenance and salvation”. This is an important prayer for anyone who has just entered into the religion of Islam as it is asking Allah for guidance and protection in this life and in the hereafter. It also shows us how important it is to ask Allah for forgiveness as well as mercy so that we can be successful in our lives both spiritually and physically. Additionally, this hadith teaches us about humility by showing us how we should always be humble before Allah even if we are new to His religion or have been following Him for many years.
