1382. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever washes (Ghassala)[1] and performs Ghusl, comes early to the Masjid and sits near the Imâm, and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and praying Qiyâm during it." (Sahih)

Commentary
1. The recompense mentioned in the Hadith is not merely upon one's taking a bath, but it is on account of several other deeds. But since, among those deeds the bath is also included, it, therefore, plays a role in it being virtuous and superior.
2. "Did not indulge in idle talk" - for instance talking, playing with one's garments or with pebbles etc.
3. "The reward of a year's fasting and praying at night": that means fasting during the day and standing in prayer continuously, without any break or laziness! This is such a strenuous task that no man can do it.
