Sami'na wa ata'na: we hear and we obey
We hear and we obey. We seek Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the final return.
In the closing verses of al-Baqarah, the Messenger ﷺ and the believers say this after affirming faith in Allah (SWT), His angels, His books and His messengers. Use it in personal du'a whenever its meaning matches what you are asking Allah (SWT) for. There is no fixed count unless one is established by a cited source.
The Arabic and meaning are paired with Quran 2:285. No special promise or count is added without a cited basis.
