Leaving No Traces …Parable of Five Daily Salah
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
“If there was a river at your door and a person took a bath in it five times a day, would you notice any dirt on him?”
They said, “Not a trace of dirt would be left.”
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “That is the parable of the five daily salaah by which Allah removes sins.”
(Sahih Muslim 667)
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, “When the son of Adam recites a verse of Sajdah (prostration) and he prostrates, Shaytaan moves away and says whilst weeping: ‘Woe to me! The son of Adam was commanded to prostrate and he prostrated, he will go to Paradise. I was commanded to prostrate and I refused, I will go to the Hellfire.’” [Sahih Muslim]
