English translation

1398. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin Mas'ud that a man did something with a woman that was less than adultery; I do not know how far it went, but it was less than adultery. He went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about that. Then Allâh revealed the words: "And perform the prayer, at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful.'"[1] He said: "O Messenger of Allāh, is this only for me?" He said: "It is for everyone who acts upon it." (Sahih)

Arabic text

1398 - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَصَابَ مِنَ امْرَأَةٍ - يَعْنِي مَا دُونَ الْفَاحِشَةِ - فَلَا أَدْرِي مَا بَلَغَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ دُونَ الزِّنَا، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ: {أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ} [هود: 114] فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلِي هَذِهِ؟ قَالَ: «لِمَنْ أَخَذَ بِهَا»

Commentary

The prayers at the two ends of the day are the Fajr and Asr. Intervening between the two is Zuhr. Nightly prayers are those of Maghrib and Ishā. Thus, performing the five daily prayers is the means to get remittance of one's sins.
