He was asked about it and he said:
“This is not my personal opinion for Allah says in [Surah Nooh 10-12]:
‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord, verily, He is Oft Forgiving; He will send rain to you in abundance. And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.”
-Tafseer Al-Qurtubi (18/301-302)

"The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to say:
‘Astaghfirullah! Astaghfirullah! (I beseech Allah for forgiveness, I beseech Allah for forgiveness)’.”
-[Sahih Muslim].
