Sitting Between the Two Prostrations

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي، وَارْحَمْنِي، وَاهْدِنِي، وَاجْبُرْنِي، وَعَافِنِي، وَارْزُقْنِي، وَارْفَعْنِي

Allahummaghfir li, warhamni, wahdini, wajburni, wa 'afini, warzuqni, warfa'ni.

O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, mend what is broken in me, keep me well, provide for me, and raise me.

What it means

Seven requests in seven words, covering the past, the present and what comes next. The word jabr, to mend, is used for setting a broken bone; you are asking Allah to repair the places in your life that did not heal on their own.

When and how

Say it in the sitting between the two sajdahs of every rakah. If you cannot recall it all, Rabbighfir li, Rabbighfir li is also established.

Its virtue

Reported from the Prophet ﷺ in Sunan Abi Dawud 850 and Jami at-Tirmidhi 284 as what he said while sitting between the two prostrations.
