Transliteration:( Wa bil as haari hum yastaghfiroon )
17. This tells us that the time of early dawn is most appropriate for seeking repentance and offering dua, because during the morning no one sleeps, except dogs. To recite Istighfaar seventy times after the two Sunnats of Fajr with eleven Darood Shareef before and after it is excellent for warding off all calamities and means of gaining an increase in one's sustenance.
The tafsir of Surah Ad-Dhariyat verse 18 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Dhariyat ayat 15 which provides the complete commentary from verse 15 through 23.
16. That is they did not belong to those who spent their nights in immoral and indecent acts and even then never thought of seeking Allah’s forgiveness. On the contrary, they spent a major part of the nights in the worship of Allah and then in the early hours of dawn sought His forgiveness, saying that they did not do full justice to the worship that was due from them. The words humyastaghfirun also contain an allusion to this that it befitted and suited them alone that they should exert their utmost in the service of their Lord and then, at the same time, should implore Him humbly for the forgiveness of their errors and shortcomings instead of exulting at and waging proud of their good acts. This could not be the way of those shameless, wicked people who committed sin and behaved arrogantly as well.
