Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَهَكَذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَي
ْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِكُمْ قَالَ وَمَا أَنْكَرْتَ مِنْ صَلَاتِي قَالَ قُلْتُ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَأَوْجَزُ قَالَ وَكَانَ قِيَامُهُ قَدْرَ مَا يَنْزِلُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ مِنْ الْمَنَارَةِ وَيَصِلُ إِلَى الصَّفِّ

English Translation
Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه reported: I said to Abu Hurayrah: 'Is this how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray?' He said: 'And what is wrong with it?' I said: 'You have shortened it.' He said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be silent between the opening takbir and the recitation for a while. I asked him about it and he said: He would say: 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 filth. O Allah, wash me of my sins with water, snow, and hail.'
