STRIVING IN THE CAUSE OF ALLAH H 1075 "Shall I tell you of something with which Allah will erase your sins and raise your status?" Those present said, 'Certainly, O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him.' He said, 'Making the ablution (ritual washing) properly, going to the mosque frequently for prayer even in difficult or distressing circumstances and waiting for the next prayer after one is finished. This is your striving in the cause of Allah.'" R 1075 Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
1059 - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه : أنَّ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، قَالَ : "ألا أدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا يَمْحُو اللهُ بِهِ الخَطَايَا ، وَيَرْفَعُ بِهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ ؟" قَالُوا : بَلَى يا رَسُول اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : "إسْبَاغُ الوُضُوءِ عَلَى المَكَارِهِ ، وَكَثْرَةُ الخُطَا إلَى المَسَاجِدِ ، وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ ، فَذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ ، فذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ" رواه مسلِم .
