Hadith 459
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ أَبِي صَخْرَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ حُمْرَانَ يُحَدِّثُ ، أَبَا بُرْدَةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَنْ أَتَمَّ الْوُضُوءَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ فَالصَّلَوَاتُ الْمَكْتُوبَاتُ كَفَّارَاتٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ " .
´It was narrated that Jami' bin Shaddad - AbuSakhrah - said:` "I heard Humran telling Abu Burdah in the mosque that he had heard 'Uthman bin 'Affan narrating that the Prophet had said" 'Whoever performs ablution perfectly as Allah has enjoined, then his prescribed prayer will serve as expiation for what is between them."

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefit:
From such ahadith, one should not misunderstand that no matter how many sins a person who prays commits, there is no harm. Because a deficiency in the etiquettes of prayer and in humility and submissiveness (khushu‘ and khudu‘) also results in a deficiency in the forgiveness of sins.
And it is also possible that due to some grave sin, a person is not even granted the ability (tawfiq) to perform prayer at all. In fact, sometimes the prayer is so deficient that instead of bringing a person closer to Allah Ta‘ala, it causes Allah Ta‘ala to become even more displeased with him.

I was unable to decide,
whether mentioning this matter would be beneficial or not,
