60. It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ started Ṣalāh, he would remain silent for a short while. I said: 'May my father and mother be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allāh! What do you say when you remain silent between the Takbīr and the recitation (in the Ṣalāh)?' He said: 'I say: Allāhumma bā'id baini wa baina khaṭāyāya kamā bā'adta baina al-mashriq wal-maghrib; Allāhumma naqqini min khaṭāyāya kamā yunaqqath-thawb al-abyaḍ min ad-danas; Allāhummaghsilni
min khaṭāyāya bith-thalji wal-mā'i wal-barad (O Allāh, put a great distance between me and my sins, as great as the distance You have made between the East and the West; O Allāh, cleanse me of sin as a white garment is cleansed from filth; Wash away my sins with snow, water, and hail).” (Saḥīḥ)

Commentary
This Hadīth clearly supports the claim that is made in the above-mentioned chapter heading. In this Hadīth, the Prophet ﷺ put snow and water on an equal level. Hence, ablution with snow-water is permissible.
