What Erases Sins and Raises Ranks
أَلاَ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَطَايَا وَيَرْفَعُ بِهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ. قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ فَذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ
Transliteration
Ala adullukum 'ala ma yamhullahu bihil-khataya wa yarfa'u bihid-darajat? Qalu: bala ya rasulallah. Qal: isbaghul-wudu'i 'alal-makarih, wa kathratul-khuta ilal-masajid, wantizarus-salati ba'das-salah, fadhalikumur-ribat
Translation
Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Shall I not tell you of that by which Allah erases sins and raises ranks?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Performing wudu thoroughly despite difficulty, taking many steps to the mosques, and waiting for the next prayer after a prayer — that is ribat [steadfast guarding]."
Practice This Today
