Prophet M uhamm ad (saw s) w as speaking to his com panions, Prophet M uhammad (saw s) w as speaking to his companions, and he asked them, If a person h ad a stream outside h is door and he asked them , If a person had a stream outside his door and he bathed in it five times a d ay, and he b athed in it five times a day, d o you think he w ould have any dirt left on him? do you think he w ould have any dirt left on him? T he com panions said, N o dirt would rem ain on him at all. T he companions said , N o dirt w ould remain on h im at all. T he Prophet (saw s) then said, T he Prophet (saw s) then said, T hat is like the five daily prayers: T hat is like the five daily prayers: Allah w ipes aw ay the sins by them. Allah w ipes aw ay the sins by them . (Saheeh A l-Bukhari, Saheeh M uslim ) (Saheeh A l-Bukhari, Saheeh M uslim )
