حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ، يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

I noticed that you are silent between the Takbirandthe recitation; please tell me what you say then.’ He said: ‘Isay:‘Allahumma ba’id baini wa baina khatayaya kama ba’adtabainal-mashriqiwal-maghrib; Allahumma naqqini min khatayaykath-thawbil abyad minad-danas; Allahummaghsilni min khatayayabil-ma’i waththalji wal-barad (OAllah, distance me from my sins asYou have distanced the east fromthe west; O Allah purify me of mysins as a white garment is purifiedof dirt; O Allah, cleanse me ofmy sins with water and snow andhail).”
