. "The five (daily) prayers, Friday prayer to the next Friday prayer, and Ramadan to the next Ramadan are expiation of the sins committed between them, so long as major sins are avoided." "Whoever performs the Fajr prayer is under the protection of Allah*; so, do not infringe upon Allah's protection in any respect, for whoever infringes upon Allah's protection in any respect, He will seize him and throw him on his face in Hellfire." A man said to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him): "@Do you think that if I perform the obligatory payers, fast Ramadan, treat the lawful as lawful, and treat the unlawful as unlawful,* and do not do anything else beyond that, will I enter Paradise?" He said: 'Yes.' He said: "By Allah, I will not do anything more than that." "Purity is half of faith, al-hamdulillāh (praise be to Allah) fills the Scale, and subhān Allah wa al-hamdulillāh (glory and praise be to Allah) fills what is between the heavens and the earth.* Prayer is light, charity is proof, patience is radiance, and the Qur’an is an argument either for you or against you. Every person goes out in the morning and sells his soul; he either saves it from doom or throws it into destruction." : . : : . : : I gave the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) a pledge to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish the prayer, to pay Zakah, to hear and obey, and to give sincere advice to every Muslim. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: Which part of the prayer is the best? He replied: The long standing I met Thawbān, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: Tell me about a deed to perform by virtue of which Allah admits me to Paradise - or he said: I said: about the deeds that Allah loves most - but he remained silent. Then I asked him, but he remained silent. Then I asked him for the third time, and he said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) about this, and he said: @"Make frequent prostrations to Allah, for you do not make a single prostration to Allah except that Allah raises you one degree therewith and remits one sin from you therewith."* Ma‘dān said: Then I met Abu ad-Dardā’ and I asked him and he told me the same as Thawbān. "Whoever prays the Bardayn (Fajr and ‘Asr prayers) will enter Paradise." "What if there was a river at the door of any of you wherein he takes a bath five times a day? Would there remain any of his filth?*" They said: Nothing of his filth would remain. He said: "This is similar to the five prayers by means of which Allah erases sins." "He who prays before sunrise and before sunset will not enter Hellfire." "No Muslim person who, when an obligatory prayer becomes due, perfects its ablution, humility, and bowing except that it becomes an expiation for the sins that preceded it as long as he has not committed a major sin, and this applies to all times." 'O Bilāl, call the Iqāmah for the prayer; give us comfort by it.'" May Allah fill their graves and houses with fire, as they distracted us from the middle prayer until the sun set Whoever performs the Fajr prayer will be under the protection of Allah
