Forty Ahadith on Salat
- Purification of the Soul ==============================
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللٌّهِ (ص): مَثَلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ كَمَثَلِ نَهْرٍ جَارٍ عَذْبٍ عَلى بَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ يَغْتَسِلُ فِيهِ كُلُّ يَومٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ فَمَا يَبقَى ذٌلِكَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his progeny) said: “The
example of the five (daily) prayers is like that of a clear-water river
flowing in front of your houses in which a person washes himself five
times a day – cleansing him from all dirt.”** **
