(187) – باب فضل الصلوات
(187) – The Excellence of As-Salat (The Prayer)
Riyad as-Saliheen 1044
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)).
