It was narrated that Abu Hurairah (RA) said: "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the Takbir (Allah Akbar), he would remain silent between the Takbir and the recitation. I said: May my father and mother be ransomed for you! I noticed that you are silent between the Takbir and the recitation; please tell me what you say tehn. He sali:d I say: (O Allah, distance me from my sins as You have distanced the east from the west;o Allah purify me of my sins as a white garment is purified of dirt; Allah, cleanse me of my sins with water and snow and hail)." (Sahih)
