Ayat 101. (Yusuf (PBUH) supplicated) "My Lord! You have indeed
bestowed on me of the sovereignty, and taught me the interpretation of dreams;
The (only) Creator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Wali
(Protector, Helper, Supporter, Guardian, etc.) in this world and in the
Hereafter, cause me to die as a Muslim (the one submitting to Your Will), and
join me with the righteous."
Hazrat Shaddad bin Aus (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The
Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "The best supplication for seeking
forgiveness (Syed-ul-Istighfar) is to say: `Allahumma Anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa Anta, khalaqtani wa ana `abduka, wa ana `ala
`ahdika wa wa`dika mastata`tu, a`udhu bika min sharri ma sana`tu, abu'u laka
bini`matika `alayya, wa abu'u bidhanbi faghfir li, fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa Anta. (O Allah! You are
my Rubb. There is no true god except You. You have created me, and I am Your
slave, and I hold to Your Covenant as far as I can. I seek refuge in You from
the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge the favours that You have bestowed
upon me, and I confess my sins. Pardon me, for none but You has the power to
pardon).' He who supplicates in these terms during the day with firm belief in
it and dies on the same day (before the evening), he will be one of the dwellers
of Jannah; and if anyone supplicates in these terms during the night with firm
belief in it and dies before the morning, he will be one of the dwellers of
Jannah.'' [Al-Bukhari Book 08, Chapter 75, Hadith
# 318].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Yusuf Ayat
101. "Allah You are my Wali (Protector, Helper,
Supporter, Guardian, etc.) in this world and in the Hereafter," This Hadith tells us
about the etiquette of praying to Allah and while seeking forgiveness. This Dua
is very comprehensive and therefore called best (King) of Istighfar
(Syed-ul-Istighfar).
