The Du’aa After The Wudoo’

‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (رضي الله عنه) said:
Rasoolullah (ﷺ) said None of you makes Wudoo’ and completes the Wudoo’ then says:
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَـهَ إِلاّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَريـكَ لَـهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمّـداً عَبْـدُه وَرَسـولُـه.
Ashhadu anlaa ilaaha illallaahu wahdahu laa shareekalahu washhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasooluhu
(I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger)
except that all eight Gates of Paradise are opened for him – so that he enters by whichever he pleases.
[Reported by Muslim (no.234), Abu Dawood (no 169), at-Tirmidhee (no.55), an-Nasaa’ee (no.148), Ibn Maajah (no.470)].
And at-Tirmidhee adds an authentic addition to it:
اللّهُـمَّ اجْعَلنـي مِنَ التَّـوّابينَ وَاجْعَـلْني مِنَ المتَطَهّـرين
Allaahumma aj’alnee minat-tawwabeen waj’alnee minal mutatahhireen
(O Allaah, make me one of those who constantly repents toYou and of those who purify themselves.)
[Declared as Sahih by al-Albaanee].
Abu Sa’eed al-Khudree (رضي الله عنه) said Rasoolullah (ﷺ) said:
Whoever makes Wudoo’ then says upon finishing the Wudoo’:
Subhaanakallaahumma wa bihamdika ashhadu anlaa ilaaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atoobu ilaika
(I declare You free from all defects my Lord and all praise belongs to you and I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except You. I seek Your forgiveness and I turn to You)
It is written in a parchment, then sealed and is not opened till Judgement Day.
[Reported by Ibn ar-Sunnee in ‘Amal al Yaurn wal-l~ilah, no.30. Declared as Saheeh by al-Albaanee].
