DUA ASTAGHFAR (PROPHET ADAM)

Prophet Adam (A.S), when sent to earth, wept profusely for many years, seeking Allah's forgiveness in his prayers. 

One day, he remembered when he was being expelled from Jannat, he had seen the name of Prophet Muhammad (saw) written on the door of the Jannat alongside the name of Allah. 

Thinking that it must be someone immensely beloved whom Allah had honored by placing his name with His Own, Prophet Adam (A.S) prayed to Allah for forgiveness, saying that may Allah forgive him for the sake of Prophet Muhammad (saw). 

Allah heard his plea and forgave him.
