After wudu

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluh

I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.

What this supplication is

Recited after completing wudu, it seals the ablution with the testimony of faith. The narration records that the eight gates of Paradise are opened for the one who says it after wudu — the ablution itself becomes a witness.

When to recite it

Immediately after completing wudu, before prayer.
