781. Abū Hurairah said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to say the Takbīr for the prayer, he would pause between the Takbīr and the recitation. So I asked him: 'May my father and mother (be given for your ransom)! The pause that you do between the Takbīr and the recitation — what do you say?' He said: Allāhumma, bā'id bainī wa baina khaṭāya kamā bā'adta bainal-mashriqi wal-maghrib. Allāhumma, Anqinī min khaṭāya kath-thawbila byādi min ad-danas. Allāhummaghsilnī biṭh-thalji, wal-mā' wal-barad (O Allāh! Distance between me and my sins as you have distanced between the east and the west. O Allāh! Cleanse me of my sins, just as a white garment is cleaned from dirt. O Allāh! Wash me with ice, and water, and snow)." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

781 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ الْمَعْنَى، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «إِذَا كَبَّرَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ سَكَتَ بَيْنَ التَّكْبِيرِ وَالْقِرَاءَةِ»، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي، أَرَأَيْتَ سُكُوتَكَ بَيْنَ التَّكْبِيرِ وَالْقِرَاءَةِ أَخْبِرْنِي مَا تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ بَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَايَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْقِنِي مِنْ خَطَايَايَ كَالثَّوْبِ الْأَبْيَضِ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْنِي بِالثَّلْجِ وَالْمَاءِ وَالْبَرَدِ»
