أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ أَنَّ نَهْرًا بِبَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ، هَلْ يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ شَيْءٌ؟
Transliteration
A-ra'aytum law anna nahran bi-babi ahadikum yaghtasilu minhu kulla yawmin khamsa marrat, hal yabqa min daranihi shay'?
Translation
What do you think? If there were a river by the door of one of you and he bathed in it five times a day, would any of his dirt remain? They said: No, none of his dirt would remain. He said: That is the likeness of the five prayers. By them, Allah erases the wrongdoings.
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah·Sahih al-Bukhari 528, Sahih Muslim 667
