The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept silence between the takbir and the recitation of Qur’an. 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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 781)

Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to keep silent between the Takbir and the recitation of Qur'an and that interval of 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, baaʿid baini wa baina khatayaya kama baaʿadta 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.)"

Messenger of Allah, for whom I would give my father and mother in ransom, what do you recite during your period of silence between the takbir and the recitation?

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 781)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to say: "When one of you prays, let him say, 'O Allah, distance me from my sins as You have distanced the East from the West. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from You turning Your face away from me on the Day of Resurrection. O Allah, cleanse me from my sins as You have cleansed the white garment from filth. O Allah, grant me a life as a Muslim and let me die as a Muslim."

"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started Salah, he would remain silent for a short while. I said: 'May my father and mother be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allah! What do you say when you remain silent between the Takbir and the recitation (in the Salah)?' He said: 'I say: Allahumma ba'id baini was baina khatayaya kama ba'adta baina al-mashriq wal-maghrib; Allahumma naqqini min khatayaya kama yunaqqath-thawb al-abyad min ad-danas; Allahummaghsilni min khatayaya bith-thalji wal-ma'i wal-barad (O Allah, out a great distance between me and my sins, as great as the distance You have made between the East and the West; O Allah, cleanse me of of sin as a white garment is cleansed from filth; Wash away my sins with snow, water, and hail)'."

Duʿāʾ for spiritual cleansing from faults and sins

suyuti:9943aAbū Hurayrah

"O Allah create a distance between me and my faults and sins as much as the distance you have made between the East and the West. O Allah cleanse me from my faults and sins just as a white garment is cleansed from dirt and filth. O Allah wash away my faults and sins with water, snow, and hail."  

Ibn Abū Shaybah; Aḥmad; Bukhārī; Abū Dawūd; Nasāʾī; Ibn Mājah; from Abū Hurayrah
السيوطي:٩٩٤٣aعن أبي هريرة

«اللَّهُمَّ بَاعِدْ بَيني وبَين خطَايَاى كمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَينْ المَشْرِقِ وَالمغْربِ، اللَّهُمَّ نَقّني منْ خَطَايَاى كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَوبُ الأبْيَضُ منَ الدَّنس، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسلنى مِنْ خَطَاياى بالمَاءِ والثَلج والْبَرد۔»
