Exact Wording for the Du’a at the Approach/Beginning of Ramadan

Question

I wanted to find out regarding the exact words of the du’a at the advent of Ramadan, I have seen a reference of Kanzul ‘Ummal,

The common wording is:

اَللّٰهُمَّ سَلّمْنِيْ لِرَمَضانَ وَسَلّمْ رَمَضانَ لِيْ وَسَلّمْه لِي مُتَقَبَّلا

Allahumma sallimni li Ramadana, wa sallim Ramadana li, wa sallimhu li mutaqabbala.

However I tried looking for the wording “wasallimhu li”, but I couldn’t find it. I found “wa tasallamhu” instead.

Please verify.

 

Answer

The words you are searching for are in Kanzul ‘Ummal, vol. 8, pg. 584 and Hayatus Sahabah, vol. 3, pg. 182.

The words “watasallamhu” are found in Kitabud Du’a of Imam Tabarani, Hadith: 912.

One may recite either of the two.
