Riyad as-Salihin: Book 8, Hadith 54

Ibn Mas’ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man kissed a woman. So he came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and informed him about it. Then Allah revealed this Ayah: “And perform the Salat, between the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. Verily, the good deeds efface the evil deeds (i.e., minor sins).” (11:114) The man asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) whether this applies to him only. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “It applies to all of my Ummah.”.

وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه أن رجلا أصاب من امرأة قُبلةً، فأتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فأخبره فأنزل الله تعالى‏:‏ ‏{‏أقم الصلاة طرفي النهار وزلفًا من الليل، إن الحسنات يذهبن السيئات‏}‏ فقال الرجل‏:‏ ألي هذا‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏
“‏لجميع أمتي كلهم‏”‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
