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 then.’ He said: ‘I
say:
‘Allahumma ba’id baini wa baina khatayaya kama ba’adta
bainal-mashriqi
wal-maghrib; Allahumma naqqini min khatayay
kath-thawbil abyad minad-
danas; Allahummaghsilni min khatayaya

sins as a white garment is purified
of dirt; O Allah, cleanse me of
my sins with water and snow and
hail).”

Salat he
would say: “Subhanak Allahumma wa bi hamdika, wa tabarakas-

You, O
Allah, blessed is Your Name and exalted is Your majesty, none
has the
right to be worshipped but You).”
