English narration

Narrated by أبو هريرة الدوسي

Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept silence between the takbir and the recitation of Quran. So I asked him, for whom I would give my father and mother as ransom: What do you say during you period of silence between the takbir and the recitation? He replied (that he said): O Allah, purify me from sins as a white garment is purified from filth. O Allah, wash away my sings with snow, water and hail.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ ، الْمَعْنَى عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : "

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ 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
