One of the du'as that can be said after the opening takbeer at the start of the prayer (from the sunnah):
‘O Allaah, distance me from my sins just as You have distanced The East from The West, O Allaah, purify me of my sins as a white robe is purified of filth,
O Allaah, cleanse me of my sins with snow, water, and ice.’
(Bukhari 1/181 and Muslim 1/419)
One of the du'as said in the funeral prayer (from the sunnah):
'O Allaah, forgive and have mercy upon him, excuse him and pardon him, and make honorable his reception. Expand his entry, and
cleanse him with water, snow, and ice, and purify him of sin as a white robe is purified of filth. Exchange his home for a better home, and his family for a better family, and his spouse for a better spouse. Admit him into the Garden, protect him from the punishment of the grave and the torment of the Fire.’
(Muslim 2/663)

Can you tell me where it says that? Thanks.
This is a time when the blessings of Allah descend from the heavens, and so it is also one of the times when the du'a of a worshipper is accepted.
Sahl ibn Sa'd narrated that the Prophet :saws: said:
"Two are the du'as that are never returned: the du'a made when the prayer is being called, and at the time of rainfall."
(Abu Dawud 3540, al-Haakim 2/114)
The Prophet :saws: also said:
"Seek the response to your du'as when the two armies meet, and the prayer is called, and when rain falls."
al-Shaafi (1/223)
And Allah knows best.
