Sahih al-Bukhari 726 (Book 10, Hadith 138)
silence used to be a short one. I said to the Prophet (ﷺ) “May my parents be sacrificed for you! What do
you say in the pause between Takbir and recitation?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I say, ‘Allahumma, baa`id
baini wa baina khatayaya kama baa`adta baina l-mashriqi wa l-maghrib. Allahumma, naqqini min
khatayaya kama yunaqqa th-thawbu l-abyadu mina d-danas. Allahumma, ighsil khatayaya bi l-maa’i
wa th-thalji wa l-barad (O Allah! Set me apart from my sins (faults) as the East and West are set apart
from each other and clean me from sins as a white garment is cleaned of dirt (after thorough washing).
O Allah! Wash off my sins with water, snow and hail.)”
“ أَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ بَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَاىَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ، اللَّهُمَّ نَقِّنِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ خَطَايَاىَ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ ”.
