Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a man kissed a woman who was not lawful for him, and then he came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of this act. Upon this, Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: "Establish prayer at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. Indeed, good deeds erase bad deeds." The man asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Is this (command) only for me?" The Prophet replied: "No, rather it is for my entire Ummah."
