Sunan Abi Dawud 30 — Ghufranaka After Leaving the Toilet

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 30

This hadith about Ghufranaka after leaving the toilet teaches a short daily supplication. Aishah, the Mother of the Believers, reports that when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came out of the privy, he used to say: “Grant me Thy forgiveness.” The Arabic word is “Ghufranaka.” The report is brief, so the explanation should be brief in meaning too. It does not give a long reason in the text. It simply teaches what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to say after leaving the place of relief. Many people search for “dua after toilet Ghufranaka” or “Ghufranaka meaning in English.” The key lesson is that even after an ordinary private need, a Muslim can return to Allah with a simple request for forgiveness.
