The excellence of the prayer and its wiping away of sins and evil deeds
Aboo Huraira radi allahu anhu, also narrates that Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, the five daily prayers, and the Jumu'ah to the Jumu'ah are an expiation for what is between them, as long as one is not guilty of major-sins. [Muslim]
From Uthmaan radi allahu anhu, who said that Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, there is no muslim upon whom the obligatory prayer becomes due, so he perfects the wudhu, humility and attentiveness [khushu] and the bowing [ruku] except that it is an expiation of the sins that is coming before it as long as he does not commit major sins. This applies all the time. [Muslim]
The Prayer: Its Effect in Increasing Eemaan... , by Husayn al-'Awaayishah
The Excellence of Prayer and it Wiping Away of Sins and Evil Deeds
The author lists hadith that discuss the merits of prayer and how prayer wipes away sins. I will just list the main points as the author himself listed at the end of this chapter:
1. Allaah the Most High, wipes away sins through the five daily prayers
2. the prayer is an expiation of what is committed between them, as long as major sins are avoided
3. sins destroy a person and ignite a fire for him which he must extinguish with the prayers
4. the Muslim may reach a station of the sincere, the truthful, and the martyrs through prayer, zakaat and fasting
5. the excellence of prayer over other actions (with the condition that the aqeedah is correct and free from corruption)
6. Allaah, the Most High, blessed the Companion by entering him into Paradise before his brother, the martyr, and that was because he had performed more prayers than him
7. prayer is a light which will make the way clear for the servant in this life and the Hereafter
8. the way to achieve the companionship of the Prophet (S) in Paradise is to increase in performance of prostration and Prayer
9. the performance of two rak’ahs would be more beloved to a deceased person than the world and all that it contains
10. turning with one’s heart to Allaah in the Prayer fully and sincerely causes the Muslim to be as he was on the day his mother gave birth to him [i.e. free from sin]
