The Excellence of As-Salat (The Prayer)

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

[Muslim].

وعن جابر رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ :"مثل الصلوات الخمس كمثل نهر غمر جار على باب أحدكم يغتسل منه كل يوم خمس مرات".((رواه مسلم)).

Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
A man kissed a woman. So he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 ﷺ whether this applies to him only. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It applies to all of my Ummah."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه أن رجلا أصاب من امرأة قُبلةً، فأتى النبي ﷺ فأخبره فأنزل الله تعالى: {أقم الصلاة طرفي النهار وزلفًا من الليل، إن الحسنات يذهبن السيئات} فقال الرجل: ألي هذا؟ قال: "لجميع أمتي كلهم" ((متفق عليه)).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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."

[Muslim].

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله ﷺ قال:"الصلوات الخمس، والجمعة إلى الجمعة، كفارة لما بينهن، ما لم تغشَ الكبائر" ((رواه مسلم)).

'Uthman bin 'Affan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "When the time for a prescribed Salat is due and a Muslim performs its Wudu' and its acts of bowing and prostration properly, this Salat will be an expiation for his past sins, so long as he does not commit major sins, and this applies for ever."

[Muslim].

وعن عثمان بن عفان رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت النبي ﷺ يقول: "ما من امرئ مسلم تحضره صلاة مكتوبة فيحسن وضوءها وخشوعها وركوعها إلا كانت كفارة لما قبلها من الذنوب مالم تؤتَ كبيرة وذلك الدهر كله" ((رواه مسلم)).
