Hadith Related To Allahumma Baid Baini

Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, used to remain silent for a short period, so he asked him:

May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allaah.

During your silence between Takbeer and recitation, what do you say?” He, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said:

I say: ‘O Allaah, cause a distance to be between myself and my mistakes, just as You have caused there to be a distance between the East and West. O Allaah, purify me of my mistakes just as a white garment is purified from any impurities. O Allaah, clean my mistakes off me with water, ice, and hailstones.

Sahih Al Bukhari 744

Simple Explanation

When the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, said:

O Allaah, cause a distance to be between myself and my mistakes, just as You have caused there to be a distance between the East and West, the distance between the East and West is the furthest distance people can use to show emphasis.

People usually use the difference between two things that are very far apart, such as the heavens and earth, or such as the East and West.

When he, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, said: Cause a distance to be between myself and my mistakes, it means, cause a distance between myself and performing the mistakes, so that I do not do them, and cause a distance between myself and the punishment that is tied to them if I do commit them.

When he, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, said: O Allaah, purify me of my mistakes just as a white garment is purified from any impurities, white was mentioned because white is what is affected the most by impurities and dirt.

Then, he, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, asked to have the effects of his mistakes be removed through extra cleansing, as in, through water, ice, and hailstones.

Water, no doubt, purifies, but the purpose and intent of mentioning ice and hailstones is that sins have the result of punishment in Hellfire.

Hellfire is hot, and heat is removed by something cold.

So, water contains purification, and ice and hailstones contain the cooling and soothing sensation.

Allah Knows Best.
