Everlasting Righteous Deeds
The five daily prayers expiate sins.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him),
the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"Tell me, if there were a river at the door of one of you
in which he washed himself five times every day,
would any of his dirt remain?"
They replied, "None of his dirt would remain."
He said, "That is the parable of the five daily prayers;
Allah wipes away sins by means of them."
