Chapter 9 · Times of the Prayersالصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ كَفَّارَةٌ
The five prayers are an expiation
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ أَنَّ نَهَرًا بِبَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ، يَغْتَسِلُ فِيهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسًا، مَا تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ يُبْقِي مِنْ دَرَنِهِ ". قَالُوا لاَ يُبْقِي مِنْ دَرَنِهِ شَيْئًا. قَالَ " فَذَلِكَ مِثْلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ، يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِهَا الْخَطَايَا ".

Translation
Abu Hurairah reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “Tell me: if there were a river at the door of one of you in which he bathed five times every day, what do you say, would that leave any of his dirt?” They said, “It would not leave any of his dirt.” He said, “That is the likeness of the five prayers: through them Allah wipes out the sins.”

Abu Huraira berichtete, dass er den Gesandten Allahs ﷺ sagen hörte: „Was meint ihr: Wenn an der Tür eines von euch ein Fluss wäre, in dem er sich jeden Tag fünfmal wäscht – was sagst du, lässt das etwas von seinem Schmutz übrig?“ Sie sagten: „Es lässt nichts von seinem Schmutz übrig.“ Er sagte: „So ist es mit den fünf Gebeten: Allah tilgt durch sie die Verfehlungen.“

Ebû Hüreyre (r.a.), Resûlullah'ı ﷺ şöyle buyururken işittiğini rivayet etti: “Ne dersiniz, birinizin kapısının önünde bir nehir olsa da o, her gün onda beş defa yıkansa, ne dersin, bu onun kirinden bir şey bırakır mı?” “Kirinden hiçbir şey bırakmaz” dediler. Bunun üzerine: “İşte beş vakit namaz da böyledir; Allah onlarla hataları siler” buyurdu.
