Authentic Supplications of the Prophet

On Seated Gathering Places (250)

The Messenger of Allah

said:"No one sits in a seating place in which he utters much confusion, but then says prior to getting up from that seating place of his: Subhãnaka 'allãhumma wa bihamdika, 'ash-hadu 'allã 'ilãha 'illã 'anta, 'astaghfiruka wa 'atoobu 'ilayka^{(255)
except that Allah would cover up for him that
which occurred in that seating of his".}
