Narrated Abu Huraira: Allahs Messenger (ﷺ) used to keep silent between the Takbir and the recitation of Quran 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, baa`id baini wa baina khatayaya kama baa`adta baina l-mashriqi wa l-maghrib. Allahumma, naqqini min khatayaya kama yunaqqa th-thawbu l-abyadu mina d-danas. Allahumma, ighsil khatayaya bi l-maai 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.) Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 744 (Call to Prayers (Adhaan)) In-book reference:Book 10, Hadith 138
