The Five Prayers Are Like a River at Your Door

✓ Sahih
Sahih al-Bukhari · 528·Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (RA)

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

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "If there was a river at the door of one of you and he bathed in it five times a day, would any dirt remain on him?" They said, "Not a trace of dirt would remain." He said, "That is the example of the five prayers, by which Allah wipes away sins."
