Riyad as-Salihin: Book 8, Hadith 52

Abu Hurairahu (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, “Say, if there were a river at the door of one of you in which he takes a bath five times a day, would any soiling remain on him?” They replied, “No soiling would left on him.” He (ﷺ) said, ” That is the five (obligatory) Salat (prayers). Allah obliterates all sins as a result of performing them.”.

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول‏:‏ ‏”‏أرأيتم لو أن نهرًا بباب أحدكم يغتسل منه كل يوم خمس مرات، هل يبقى من درنه شيء‏؟‏‏”‏ قالوا‏:‏ لا يبقى من درنه شيء، قال‏:‏ ‏”‏فذلك مثل الصلوات الخمس، يمحو الله بهن الخطايا‏”‏‏.‏‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
