in a hadeeth on the authority of ‘aa’ishah 
she said, “i said, ‘o messenger of allaah, if i know which night is the night of al-qadr, what should i say on that night?’ he said: ‘say: ‘allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwun kareemun tuhibbu al-‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni (o allaah, you are ever pardoning and generous and you love pardoning, so pardon me!)’’” [at-tirmithi: hasan saheeh]
in another narration, she said, “i said, ‘o messenger ofallaah, if i witness the night of al-qadr, what should i say?’ hesaid: ‘say: ‘o allaah, you are ever pardoning and generous, and you love pardoning, so pardon me.’’” [ibn maajah]
