2868. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Do you think that if there was a river by the gate of one of you, and he bathed in it five times each day that there would remain any filth on him?" They said: "No filth would stay on him." He said: "That is the parable of the five prayers, Allāh wipes out the sins with them." There is something on this topic from Jābir. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ. (Another chain) with similar in meaning.

٢٨٦٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ الْهَادِ ، عَنْ ‌مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ أَنَّ نَهَرًا بِبَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ،» هَلْ يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالُوا: لَا يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ شَيْءٌ، قَالَ: فَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ يَمْحُو اللهُ بِهِنَّ الْخَطَايَا. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. ٢٨٦٨ (م) - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ الْقُرَشِيُّ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ الْهَادِ نَحْوَهُ.
