SUPPLICATION ON LEAVING A GATHERING

844

“Towards the end of the life of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, when he was about to leave a gathering he would supplicate, ‘Exalted are You, O Allah, and Yours is the praise. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except You. I ask Your forgiveness and turn to You.’ A Companion inquired, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, you have started to say something that you did not say before.’ He replied, ‘These are words of expiation for that which goes on in the gathering.’"

Abu Daud and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Barzah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
