Allahumma la tu'aakhidhni bima yaqooluna, waghfir li ma la ya'lamoona [waj'alni khairam-mimma yadh-dhunuun

Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raaj'ioon. Allahumma-jurni fi museebati wa akhlif li khairan minha
We are from Allah and unto Him we return. O Allah! Take me out of my plight and bring to me after it something better.

Alhamdulilahil-ladhi 'afaani mimmab-talaaka bihi wa fadhdhalani 'ala katheerin mimman khalaqa tafdheela
Praise be to Allah who has spared me what He has afflicted you with, and preferred me greatly above much of what He has created
 

 

While sitting in an assembly

Sahih ibn Majah 2/321
Ibn Umar (ra) said that the Prophet (saws) used to repeat 100 times in a single sitting before getting up

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الْغَفُورُ
Rabbighfirli wa tub 'alayya innaka antat-Tawwaabul-Ghafoor
My Lord! Forgive me and accept my repentance. You are the Ever-Relenting, the All-Forgiving.
 

Supplication for the expiation of sins said at the conclusion of a sitting, gathering, etcetera
[abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi #3/153, ibn Majah, an-Nasa'i]

سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ و بِحَمْدِكَ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إلاَّ أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ أَتُوْبُ إِلَيْكَ
Subhanaka-Allahumma wa bihamdik. Ash-hadu ana la illaha illa Anta, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilaik.
Glory be to You, O Allah! And I Praise You. I bear witness that None has the right to be worshipped except You. I seek Your Forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
 

A'isha (ra) narrated that whenever the Prophet (saw) would betake a seat, read Qur'an or pray, he would always conclude it with certain words. That the Prophet (saw) said that whoever speaks good, it (the supplication below) will be a seal for that goodness and whoever speaks ill, it will be an atonement for him.

سُبْحَانَكَ و بِحَمْدِكَ ، لا إِلَهَ إلاَّ أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ أَتُوْبُ إِلَيْكَ

O Allah! I seek refuge in You lest I associate anything with You knowingly, and I seek refuge in Your Forgiveness for what I know not.
