Sunan Ibn Majah 1397
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ، أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَانَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ " أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ بِفِنَاءِ أَحَدِكُمْ نَهْرٌ يَجْرِي يَغْتَسِلُ فِيهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ مَا كَانَ يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ " قَالَ لاَ شَىْءَ . قَالَ " فَإِنَّ الصَّلاَةَ تُذْهِبُ الذُّنُوبَ كَمَا يُذْهِبُ الْمَاءُ الدَّرَنَ " .
Abdullah ibn Abi Ziyad narrated to us; Ya‘qub ibn Ibrahim ibn Sa‘d narrated to us; my nephew, Ibn Shihab, narrated to me, from his uncle. Salih ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Farwah narrated to me that Amir ibn Sa‘d informed him: I heard Aban ibn Uthman say that Uthman said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘Consider: if there were a flowing river in the courtyard of one of you, and he bathed in it five times every day, would any dirt remain on him?’ He replied, ‘Nothing would remain.’ He said, ‘Prayer removes sins just as water removes dirt.’
