It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! What do you say about a man who meets a strange woman and does with her everything that a man does with his wife, except intercourse?" Upon this, Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: "Establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at some hours of the night; indeed, good deeds erase bad deeds." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to that person, "Perform ablution and offer prayer." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Is this command specific to him or general for all Muslims?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is general for all Muslims."
