Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ مُدْرِكٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَدْعُو فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْنِي بِالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَالْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْ قَلْبِي مِنْ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا طَهَّرْتَ الثَّوْبَ الْأَبْيَضَ مِنْ الدَّنَسِ وَبَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ ذُنُوبِي كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَدُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ وَعِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَرْبَعِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِيشَةً تَقِيَّةً وَمِيتَةً سَوِيَّةً وَمَرَدًّا غَيْرَ مُخْزٍ
English Translation
ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Awfā narrated: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to supplicate saying: 'O Allah, purify me with snow, hail, and cold water. O Allah, purify my heart from sins as You purify white cloth from filth. O Allah, distance me from my sins as You have distanced the East from the West. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from a heart that does not humble itself, from a soul that is never satisfied, from a supplication that is not heard, and from knowledge that does not benefit. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from these four. O Allah, I ask You for a pious life and a peaceful death, and a return that is neither disgracing nor dishonorable.'
