غُفْرَانَكَ
Ghufranaka
I seek Your forgiveness.
Aisha (RA) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ would say this when leaving the bathroom. Scholars explain the wisdom: you ask forgiveness because you were in a place where you could not remember Allah, or because relieving oneself reminds us of the blessings of health we take for granted.
