Tell me about the prayers that Allah Almighty has made obligatory upon me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has made five prayers obligatory upon His servants. He said: Is there any prayer obligatory upon me before or after these? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has made five prayers obligatory upon His servants.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If he is truthful, he will enter Paradise.

So I returned with these things, and when I passed by Musa (peace be upon him), he said: What has your Lord made obligatory upon your Ummah? I said: Fifty prayers have been made obligatory upon them. Hearing this, Musa (peace be upon him) said: Speak to your Lord, your Ummah will not have the strength for this action. So I spoke to my Lord, and Allah Almighty forgave half of the prayers. Then I returned to Musa (peace be upon him) and informed him, but he again said: Speak to your Lord again, for your Ummah will not have the strength for so many prayers. So I spoke to my Lord again, and Allah Almighty said: These are five and these are fifty; My word is not changed with Me.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The five prayers, from one Friday to the next Friday, and from one Ramadan to the next Ramadan, are expiation for the sins committed in between, as long as major sins are avoided.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Prayer is an expiation until the next prayer, Friday is an expiation until the next Friday, and the month of Ramadan is an expiation until the next month, except for three sins. We realized that a new situation had arisen, except associating partners with Allah, breaking a covenant, and abandoning the Sunnah.

Abu Uthman says: I was with Sayyiduna Salman al-Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him) under a tree. He took hold of a dry branch of it and shook it until its leaves fell. Then he said: O Abu Uthman! Will you not ask me why I did this? I said: Yes, why did you do this? He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did this with us when I was with him under a tree. He (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of a dry branch and shook it until its leaves fell. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Salman! Will you not ask me why I did this? I said: Yes, why did you do this, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, when a Muslim performs ablution and performs it well, then offers the five prayers, his sins fall away just as these leaves fall. Allah the Exalted has said: Establish prayer at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. Surely good deeds remove evil deeds. That is a reminder for those who take heed. (Surah Hud: 114)
