Chapter: Under every hair there is a state of sexual impurity
Sunan Ibn Majah 598 — Under every hair there is a state of sexual
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي طَلْحَةُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ ، وَالْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ ، وَأَدَاءُ الْأَمَانَةِ كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهَا " ، قُلْتُ : وَمَا أَدَاءُ الْأَمَانَةِ ؟ قَالَ : " غُسْلُ الْجَنَابَةِ فَإِنَّ تَحْتَ كُلِّ شَعَرَةٍ جَنَابَةً " .
´Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari narrated that:` The Prophet said: "The five daily prayers, from one Friday to the next, and fulfilling the trust are all expiation for whatever (sins) come between them." I said: "What is fulfilling the trust?" He said: Having a bath to cleanse oneself from sexual impurity, for under every hair there is the state of sexual impurity."

Commentary:
(1)
The ritual bath (ghusl) for major ritual impurity (janabah) has been described as the fulfillment of a trust (amanah), meaning just as it is obligatory to return a trust to its rightful owner, in the same way, performing the ritual bath for janabah is absolutely necessary, because without the ritual bath, the impurity of janabah will not be removed.
(2)
Regarding those deeds about which it is said that they become expiation (kaffarah), what is meant are minor sins (saghirah), because major sins (kabirah) are not forgiven by any deed, but only through sincere repentance (tawbah) or by the special mercy of Allah Ta'ala.
