Is it a condition to say "Sayyid al-Istighfar" ten times to enter Paradise, or is it sufficient to say it with certainty in the morning or evening?
The supplication mentioned is Sayyid al-Istighfar (the chief of seeking forgiveness), and its wording is: "O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no god but You. You created me, and I am Your servant, and I am abiding by Your covenant and Your promise as much as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I acknowledge my sins. So forgive me, for indeed, none forgives sins except You." And whoever recites it with certainty during the day and dies before evening, or recites it during the night and dies before morning, he will be among the people of Paradise. The hadith does not mention reciting it ten times.
