526. Narrated Ibn Mas’ūd رضي الله عنه: A man kissed a woman (unlawfully) and then went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him. So Allāh revealed: “And perform As-Salāt (Iqāmat-as-Shalat(1)), at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night [i.e., the five compulsory Salāt (prayers)]. Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e., small sins)...” (V.11:114). The man asked Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ, “Is this instruction for me only?” He said, “It is for all those of my followers (who encounter a similar situation).”
