Can the various supplications for opening the prayer be combined, and likewise the supplications for entering the mosque?

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-‘Uthaymeen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If the act of worship varies...?

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : If the act of worship varies, like the variation in the supplication for opening the prayer, can two of them be combined?

The Shaykh : If the evidence indicates that two are not to be combined, then they are not combined, as in the case of the opening supplication. The opening supplication was reported as
Glorious You are O Allah, and with Your praise, and blessed is Your Name, and exalted is Your majesty, and none has the right to be worshipped but You. سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك وتبارك اسمك وتعالى جدك ولا إله غيرك
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 243Hasan (Darussalam)
, and it was also reported as
O Allah, purify me from sins as a white garment is purified from filth اللهم باعد بيني وبين خطاياي كما باعدت بين المشرق والمغرب
Sunan Abi Dawud 781Sahih (Al-Albani)
, but the hadith of Abu Hurayrah indicates that they are not to be combined, because he asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
What do you say in the pause between Takbir and recitation?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I say, 'Allahumma, baa`id baini wa baina khatayaya أرأيت سكوتك بين التكبير والقراءة ما تقول؟ قال: أقول اللهم باعد بيني وبين خطاياي
Sahih al-Bukhari 744
to the end. As for when the Sunnah does not indicate restricting oneself to one type, then let him combine as much as can be combined. Yes?
