Question 1763: What should we do to be among those seeking forgiveness in the early morning (Sahar)?
✅ Answer: Allah, the Almighty, mentions those seeking forgiveness in the early morning in the Quran as follows:
1⃣ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ (۱۶)
الصَّابِرِينَ وَالصَّادِقِينَ وَالْقَانِتِينَ وَالْمُنفِقِينَ وَالْمُسْتَغْفِرِينَ بِالْأَسْحَارِ (۱۷)
Those who say, 'Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us our sins and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.'
[They are] the patient, the truthful, the obedient, the charitable, and those who seek forgiveness before dawn.
📖 Surah Aal-e-Imran
2⃣ إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ (۱۵)
آخِذِينَ مَا آتَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ (۱۶)
كَانُوا قَلِيلًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ (۱۷)
وَبِالْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ (۱۸)
📖 Surah Adh-Dhariyat
The God-fearing shall be amid gardens and springs, receiving what their Lord will have granted them. They were righteous before sleep overtakes them, and in the early dawn, they seek forgiveness.
✅ To be among those seeking forgiveness in the early morning, consider the following narrations:
📚 Al-Faqih, Vol. 1, p. 489
Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: Whoever, during their Witr prayer, recites 'Astaghfirullah Rabbi wa Atubu Ilaih' (I seek forgiveness from Allah, my Lord, and I repent to Him) seventy times and remains attentive to this practice for one year, Allah, in His eyes, considers them among those seeking forgiveness in the early morning. Forgiveness and pardon from Allah, the Almighty, become obligatory for them!
📚 Al-Tahzib, Vol. 2, p. 130
3⃣عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ فِی وَتْرِهِ إِذَا أَوْتَرَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ رَبِّی وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَیْهِ سَبْعِینَ مَرَّةً وَ وَاظَبَ عَلَی ذَلِکَ حَتَّی تَمْضِیَ سَنَةٌ کَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْتَغْفِرِینَ بِالْأَسْحَارِ وَ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْمَغْفِرَةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
Abu Baseer says: I asked Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, about those seeking forgiveness in the early morning. He replied: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his progeny, used to seek forgiveness seventy times during his Witr prayer!
✅ Do not forget to pray for the hastening of the reappearance (of Imam Mahdi).
4⃣عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ الْمُسْتَغْفِرِینَ بِالْأَسْحارِ فَقَالَ اسْتَغْفَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِی الْوَتْرِ سَبْعِینَ مَرَّةً.
