LIKENESS OF A RUNNING STREAM

1058

“Tell me, if one of you had a stream running at his door and bathed in it five times each day, would any dirt be left upon him? The Companions replied that no dirt would be left on their person. The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, then told them, ‘This is the example of the five (obligatory) prayers with which Allah wipes out the sins.’

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that he heard the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, say this.
