Summary
The more accurate wording is nussiina (نُسِّينَا), meaning we have been made to forget. The wording nasiina (نَسِينَا), meaning we have forgotten, is to be avoided because it carries a negative connotation of abandoning or neglecting the Quran, and scholars regard it as makruh. The supplication is not established as a transmitted Quran completion prayer from the Prophet, but it is permissible to recite under the general encouragement to make supplication and because its meanings are good.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Manakala dielakkan sebutan nasiina kerana perkataan نَسِيْنَا membawa maksud ''kami telah lupakan'' mengandungi konotasi yang negatif
