Is it permissible to supplicate with the words: "Oh Allah, I am clearly unjust to myself"?
It is prescribed for a servant to say in his supplication that he has wronged himself. This falls under seeking intercession through the state of the supplicant and his pleading with his Lord, as mentioned in the supplication of Dhul-Nun, "Indeed, I was of the wrongdoers," and the supplication of Adam, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves," and the supplication of Moses, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me," and the supplication of Abu Bakr, "O Allah, I have indeed wronged myself with much wrongdoing," and the supplication of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in prayer, "I have wronged myself and admitted my sin." This is when the servant intends the wrongdoing of himself through disobedience, not wrongdoing in the sense of disbelief.
