أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو أَحْمَدَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ الْعَدْلُ، قَالَا: ثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَجْزَأَةَ بْنِ زَاهِرٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى قَالَ:
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمِلْءَ الْأَرْضِ وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدُ، اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْنِي بِالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَالْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ، اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْنِي مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَنَقِّنِي مِنْهَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَالْوَسَخِ

The Prophet ﷺ used to say: "O Allah, to You belongs all praise, filling the heavens and filling the earth and filling whatever You will beyond that. O Allah, purify me with snow, hail, and cold water. O Allah, purify me from sins and cleanse me of them as a white garment is cleansed of stain and dirt."
