Prayer erases the effect of sins
Hadith 544
- " أرأيت لو كان بفناء أحدكم نهر يجري يغتسل منه كل يوم خمس مرات، ما كان يبقى من درنه؟ قالوا: لا شيء، قال: إن الصلوات تذهب الذنوب كما يذهب الماء الدرن ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "What do you think, if there were a river by the side of someone's courtyard and he bathed in it five times a day, would any dirt remain on him?" The companions said: Not a trace (of dirt) would remain. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Prayers also wipe away sins just as water removes dirt."
