Musnad Ahmad 10408 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , قََالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ سَكَتَ هُنَيَّةً ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي ، مَا تَقُولُ فِي سُكُوتِكَ بَيْنَ التَّكْبِيرِ وَالْقِرَاءَةِ ؟ قَالَ : أَقُولُ : " اللَّهُمَّ بَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَايَ ، كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْقِنِي مِنْ خَطَايَايَ ، كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْنِي مِنْ خَطَايَايَ بِالثَّلْجِ وَالْمَاءِ وَالْبَرَدِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to remain silent for a short while between saying the opening Takbeer and the recitation. Once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger, "May my parents be sacrificed for you, what do you recite during the silence between the Takbeer and the recitation?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "During that time I say this supplication: O Allah, create distance between me and my sins as You have made distance between the East and the West. O Allah, purify me of my sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. O Allah, wash away my sins with water, snow, and hail."
