Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 4, Hadith 8

It was narrated that Ibn Abi Awfa said: “The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say: ‘Allahumma tahhirni bith-thalji wal-barad wal-ma’ al-barid, Allahumma tahhirni min adh-dhunub kama yutahhar ath-thawb al-abyad min ad-danas (O Allah, purify me with snow and hail and cold water, O Allah, purify me of sin as a white garment is cleansed of dirt).”

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ رُقْبَةَ، عَنْ مَجْزَأَةَ الأَسْلَمِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏‏
“‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْنِي بِالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَالْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْنِي مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ كَمَا يُطَهَّرُ الثَّوْبُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ ‏‏”‏‏ ‏‏.‏‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 4, Hadith 8

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Compiled by the renowned Islamic scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i during the 9th century, the Sunan an-Nasa’i is a pillar of Sunni hadith literature. It is universally recognized as one of the six most important collections, the Kutub al-Sittah. The text is comprised of more than 5,700 individual narrations that meticulously document the traditions and practices of the Prophet Muhammad. What sets al-Nasa’i’s work apart is his exceptionally rigorous critical approach to evaluating the chains of narration. His deliberate exclusion of unreliable reports has led scholars throughout history to regard the Sunan as one of the most trustworthy and authoritative sources for authentic hadith.
