استغفار در سحرگاهان

روایات معصومین(ع) استغفار در سحرها را به نماز شب و استغفار در قنوت آخر آن - که در نماز یک رکعتی وتر است - تفسیر کرده‌اند. از امام صادق(ع) روایت شده است: «هر کس یک سال در نماز وترء هفتاد بار در حال ایستاده بگوید استغفر ال ربی و اتوب الیه» خداوند او را در درگاه خود از مصادیق «المستغفرین بالاسحار» به حساب می‌آورد و آمرزش خدا برای او حتمی خواهد شد.»!
