427. It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Khudri that he heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: "Shall I not tell you of something by means of which Allâh expiates for sins and increases good deeds?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allâh." He said: "Perform ablution properly despite difficulties, increasing the number of steps one takes towards the mosque and waiting for the next prayer after prayer." (Hasan)
427 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا يُكَفِّرُ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَطَايَا، وَيَزِيدُ بِهِ فِي الْحَسَنَاتِ؟» قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ، وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ، وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ»

Virtuous deeds wash off the sins of man, provided that the deeds are done with sincerity and are in conformity with the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ. "Increasing the number of steps towards the mosque" means going to the mosque to join the congregational prayers even if the mosque is at some distance from home. c. 'Waiting for the next prayer after prayer' means (i) not to get so much bogged down in worldly affairs as to be forgetful of the obligation of prayer or (ii) fail to do it in proper time.
