English translation
144. It was narrated from 'Āsim bin Sufyān Ath-Thaqafī that they went out for the battle of As-Salāsīl, but they missed the fighting, so they kept watch, then they went back to Mu'āwiyyah, and Abū Ayyūb and 'Uqbah bin 'Āmir were with him. 'Āsim said: "O Abū Ayyūb, we missed the general mobilization, but we have been told that whoever prays in the four Masjids will be forgiven his sins." He said: "O son of my brother! I will tell you of something easier than that. I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Whoever performs Wudū' as commanded and prays as commanded, will be forgiven for his previous actions.' Is it not so, O 'Uqbah?" He said: "Yes." (Hasan)
