The answer

Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhi, and others narrated from Aisha that when the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, exited the lavatory, he would say: "Ghufranak (Your forgiveness)." In Sunan Al-Bayhaqi, there is an addition: "Ghufranak, Rabbana, wa ilaykal-masir (Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the ultimate return)." The addition mentioned in the question, of repeating it three times or striking the forehead, has not been reported with an authentic chain of narration.
