تاﻮﻠﺼﻟا ﻞﻀﻓ بﺎﺑ
The Excellence of As-Salat (The Prayer)
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"
Verily, As-Salat (the prayer) prevents from Al-Fahsha' (i.e., great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual
intercourse) and Al-Munkar (i.e., disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil, wicked deed).
'' (29:45)

Abu Hurairahu (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying,
"
Say, if there were a river at the door of one of you in which he takes a bath five times a day, would any soiling
remain on him?''
They replied, "No soiling would left on him.'' He (PBUH) said, ''
That is the five (obligatory) Salat
(prayers). Allah obliterates all sins as a result of performing them
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith tells us about the merit and benefits of the performance of the prescribed five daily
Salat, performing them will wash off one's sins, but this is true of only such Salat which is performed in accordance
with Sunnah, i.e., punctually in exactly the manner showed by the Prophet (PBUH), and not of that which is offered
at will in one's own way.

Jabiru (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "

the five (obligatory) Salat is like a river running at the door of one of you in which he takes a bath five times a day.

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man kissed a woman. So he came to the Messenger
of Allah (PBUH) and informed him about it. Then Allah revealed this Ayah: "
And perform the Salat, between the
two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. Verily, the good deeds efface the evil deeds (i.e., minor sins)
.''
(11:114) The man asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) whether this applies to him only. The Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) said, "
It applies to all of my Ummah
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
"
Between the ends of the day
'' means Fajr and Maghrib prayers. Some people think it refers to `Isha'
prayer while some think it means the Maghrib and `Isha' prayers. "
In some hours of the night
'' means the Tahajjud
prayers. This Ayah of the Qur'an has been quoted here to stress that Salat is an act of great virtue and an expiation of
sins, but only for minor sins because the major sins will not be pardoned without sincere repentance.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
The five
(daily) Salat (prayers) and the Friday (prayer) to the Friday (prayer) expiate whatever (minor sins) may be
committed in between, so long as major sins are avoided.
