حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ الْقَعْقَاعِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْكُتُ بَيْنَ التَّكْبِيرِ وَبَيْنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ إِسْكَاتَةً قَالَ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ هُنَيَّةً فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِسْكَاتُكَ بَيْنَ التَّكْبِيرِ وَالْقِرَاءَةِ مَا تَقُولُ قَالَ: «أَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ بَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَاىَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ، اللَّهُمَّ نَقِّنِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ خَطَايَاىَ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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 (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) “May my parents be sacrificed for you! What do you say in the pause between Takbir and recitation?” The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “I say, ‘Allahumma, baaid baini wa baina khatayaya kama baaadta 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.)’”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাকবীরে তাহরীমা ও কিরাআতের মধ্যে কিছুক্ষণ চুপ করে থাকতেন। আমি বললাম, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! আমার মাতাপিতা আপনার উপর কুরবান হোক, তাকবীর ও কিরাআত এর মধ্যে চুপ থাকার সময় আপনি কী পাঠ করে থাকেন?

তিনি বললেনঃ এ সময় আমি বলি- ‘‘হে আল্লাহ! আমার এবং আমার গুনাহের মধ্যে এমন ব্যবধান করে দাও যেমন ব্যবধান করেছ পূর্ব এবং পশ্চিমের মধ্যে। হে আল্লাহ আমাকে আমার গুনাহ হতে এমনভাবে পবিত্র কর যেমন সাদা কাপড় ময়লা থেকে পরিষ্কার হয়। হে আল্লাহ আমার গোনাহকে বরফ, পানি ও শিশির দ্বারা ধৌত করে দাও।’’ (মুসলিম ৫/২৭, হাঃ ৫৯৮, আহমাদ ৭১৬৭)

ہم سے موسیٰ بن اسماعیل نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے عبدالواحد بن زیاد نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے عمارہ بن قعقاع نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے ابوزرعہ نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے فرمایا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم تکبیر تحریمہ اور قرآت کے درمیان تھوڑی دیر چپ رہتے تھے۔

ابوزرعہ نے کہا میں سمجھتا ہوں ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے یوں کہا یا رسول اللہ! آپ پر میرے ماں باپ فدا ہوں۔ آپ اس تکبیر اور قرآت کے درمیان کی خاموشی کے بیچ میں کیا پڑھتے ہیں؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ میں پڑھتا ہوں «اللهم باعد بيني وبين خطاياى كما باعدت بين المشرق والمغرب،‏‏‏‏ ‏‏‏‏ اللهم نقني من الخطايا كما ينقى الثوب الأبيض من الدنس،‏‏‏‏ ‏‏‏‏ اللهم اغسل خطاياى بالماء والثلج والبرد» اے اللہ!

میرے اور میرے گناہوں کے درمیان اتنی دوری کر جتنی مشرق اور مغرب میں ہے۔ اے اللہ! مجھے گناہوں سے اس طرح پاک کر جیسے سفید کپڑا میل سے پاک ہوتا ہے۔ اے اللہ! میرے گناہوں کو پانی، برف اور اولے سے دھو ڈال۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musa bin Isma'il] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdul Wahid bin Ziyad] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Umarah bin Al Qa'qa'] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Zur'ah] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Hurairah] berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berdiam antara takbir dan bacaan Al Qur'an."

Abu Zur'ah berkata, Aku mengira Abu Hurairah berkata, 'Berhenti sebentar, lalu aku berkata, "Wahai Rasulullah, demi bapak dan ibuku! Tuan berdiam antara takbir dan bacaan. Apa yang tuan baca diantaranya?.

Beliau bersabda: "Aku membaca; ALLAHUMMA BAA'ID BAINII WA BAINA KHATHAAYAAYA KAMAA BAA'ADTA BAINAL MASYRIQI WAL MAGHRIB. ALLAHUMMA NAQQINII MIN KHATHAAYAAYA KAMAA YUNAQQATS TSAUBUL ABYADLU MINAD DANAS. ALLAHUMMAGHSILNII MIN KHATHAAYAAYA BILMAA'I WATSTSALJI WAL BARAD (Ya Allah, jauhkanlah antara aku dan kesalahanku sebagaimana Engkau menjauhkan antara timur dan barat. Ya Allah, sucikanlah kesalahanku sebagaimana pakaian yang putih disucikan dari kotoran. Ya Allah, cucilah kesalahanku dengan air, salju dan es yang dingin)

Ebu Zür'a Ebu Hureyre (r.a.)'in şöyle dediğini nakletmiştir: "Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem tekbir ile kıraat arasında bir süre Ravi şöyle demiştir; sanırım kısa bir süre demişti - ara verip susardı. Bir defasında; Anam babam sana feda olsun ey Allah'ın Resulü, tekbir ile kıraat arasında sustuğunuzda ne okuyorsunuz? diye zât-ı âlilerine sordum.

Dediki: "Allahümme bâidnî ve beyne hatâyâye kemâ bâadte beyne Meştikı ve'l-Mağribi. Allahümme nekkınî mine'l-Hatâyâ kemâ yünakkâ's-Sevbu'l-Ebyadu min'd-Denesi. Allahümme'ğsil hatâyâye bi'l-Mâi ve's-Selci ve'l Berdî Dua’nın Meali: Allahım, doğu ile batı arasını nasıl birbirinden uzaklaştırdıysan benimle hatalarım arasını da öylece uzaklaştır.

Allahım, beyaz bir elbise kirlerinden nasıl arındırılırsa beni de hatalarımdan öylece arındır. Allahım, hatalarımı su ile, kar ile ve dolu ile yıka

Sahih al-Bukhari 744, Book 10, Call to Prayers (Adhaan), Hadith 138. 1 min read

What it means

On making Takbīr to commence the prayer, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would take a brief pause before reciting Surat al-Fātihah. During this pause, he would start his prayer by reciting some supplications. Among the supplications reported in this regard is his saying: "Allāhumma bā‘id bayni wa bayna khatāyāy kama bā‘dta bayna al-mashriqi wa al-maghrib*.

Allāhumma naqqini min khatāyāy kama yunaqqa ath-thawbu al-abyadu min ad-danas. Allāhumma ighsilni min khatāyāy bith-thalji wa al-mā’i wa al-barad (O Allah, distance me from my sins as You have distanced the east from the west. O Allah, purify me from my sins as a white garment is purified from dirt. O Allah, wash out my sins with water, snow, and hail)."

He supplicates Allah Almighty to keep him far from sins, by helping him not to commit them, in such a way that makes it impossible for them to meet, just as the East and the West can never meet; and to purify him and remove such sins if he commits them, as filth is removed from the white garment; and to wash him from his sins and cool off its flames and heat with such cold purifiers: water, snow, and hail.

What it teaches

  • The opening supplication is to be recited inaudibly, even if the prayer is audible.
  • Keenness of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) to learn about the circumstances of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in his movements and instants of stillness.
  • Other wordings of the opening supplication have been reported. It is preferable that one pursues the opening supplications, which are authentically reported from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and recites them alternately.
