Hadith 427
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا يُكَفِّرُ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَطَايَا ، وَيَزِيدُ بِهِ فِي الْحَسَنَاتِ " ؟ قَالُوا : بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ ، وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ ، وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Khudri that he heard :` The Messenger of Allah say: "Shall I not tell you of something by means of which Allah expiates for sins and increases good deeds?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Perform ablution properly despite difficulties, increasing the number of steps one takes towards the mosque and waiting for the next prayer after prayer.'"

Commentary:
(1)
Sins are forgiven through righteous deeds, provided that they are performed with sincerity and in accordance with the Sunnah.
(2)
The meaning of taking more steps towards the mosques is that even if the house is far from the mosque, one should still go to the mosque to perform the congregational prayer.
Similarly, repeatedly going to the mosque is also included in taking more steps, that is, after the prayer, one goes outside the mosque to the home or market to earn lawful (halal) sustenance or to engage in other permissible activities, and when the time for the next prayer comes, he again sets out towards the mosque.
This too increases good deeds and results in the forgiveness of sins.
(3)
The meaning of waiting for the prayer is that one should not become so engrossed in business or other work that he forgets the prayer, nor should he perform any prayer outside its prescribed time or abandon it.
Rather, even during work, his attention should remain towards the prayer so that as soon as the time for prayer arrives, he sets out towards the mosque.
In one narration, this has been called guarding the frontiers (ribaat), as if this too is a kind of jihad. See: (Sahih Muslim, Book of Purification, Chapter: The Virtue of Completing Ablution Despite Hardship, Hadith: 251)
