Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq(a.s.) is authentically reported as saying that one who says the following dua in the last prostration of the Isha’ supererogatory (mustahab / nafilah) prayer at Friday nights and repeats it seven times will have all his sins forgiven as soon as he accomplishes that prayer. Yet, it is desirable to repeat this deed each night:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَسْاَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيْمِ

O Allah, I beseech You in the name of Your Noble Face

وَ اِسْمِكَ الْعَظِيْمِ

and in the name of Your Sublime Name

اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

to send blessings to Muhammad and his Household

وَ اَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذَنْبِيَ الْعَظِيْمَ ۔

and to forgive me my grave sin.
