What is the authenticity of the following supplications designated for the days of Ramadan: the supplication for the first ten days, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I seek forgiveness from Allah. O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and I seek refuge in You from the Fire"; and the supplication for the middle ten days, "O Allah, I ask You by Your mercy, which encompasses all things, to forgive me and have mercy on me"; and the supplication for the last ten days, "O Allah, You are Pardoning and Generous, You love pardoning, so pardon us"?
There is no evidence for specifying the first two supplications for the first and second ten days [of Ramadan]. As for the last supplication, "O Allah, You are forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me," there is evidence for reciting it frequently during the last ten nights, based on the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), in the hope that Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree) falls on one of them.
