وكان أحياناً يدعو بعد التحميد بقوله اللهم باعد بيني وبين خطاياي
And sometimes he would supplicate after the praise by saying: 'Oh Allah, distance me from my sins.'
بَاعِدْ — distance. This is a command-form verb, an imperative addressed to God in the supplication, 'put distance'. The imperative shape carries the request inside the verb without a separate 'please', and as a petition to God it functions as humble entreaty rather than an order.
