Solah washes away sins

"Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radhiyallaho anho) narrates
that once the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam)
asked his companions, 'Do you believe that dirt can
remain on a person bathing five times a day in a brook
running in front of his door?
' 'No', replied the companions,
'No dirt can remain on his body.' The Prophet
(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) remarked: 'So, exactly
similar is the effect of salaat offered five times a day.
With the Grace of Allah. it washes away all the sins'
."

"Hadhrat Abu Zar (Radhiyallaho anho) narrates that
once the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) came
out of his house. It was autumn and the leaves were falling
off the trees. He caught hold of a branch of a tree and its
leaves began to drop in large number. At this he remarked,
'0, Abu Zar! (Radhiyallaho anho) when a Muslim offers his
salaat to please Allah, his sins are shed awav from him just
as these leaves are falling off this tree.
