Hadith 8924

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْهَادِ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ أَنَّ نَهْرًا بِبَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ ، مَا تَقُولُونَ ؟ هَلْ يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ ؟ " قَالُوا : لَا يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ شَيْءٌ ، قَالَ : " ذَاكَ مَثَلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ ، يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِهَا الْخَطَايَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Tell me, if there were a river flowing at the door of one of your houses and he bathed in it five times a day, do you think any dirt would remain on his body? The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied: No dirt would remain. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The example of the five daily prayers is like this, through which Allah Almighty forgives sins.
