<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) Using elaboration in supplication is recommended because it reminds one of all the deeds that he did, whether in secret or in public, and even what he did not do. Thus, he grows more attached to Allah Almighty in terms of love, fear, and hope.<br> 2) Asking Allah to forgive one’s sins is one of the most significant needs a slave should ask for, because sins cause the slaves to be debarred from their Lord and for being punished in the worldly life and the Hereafter.
