Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ عَنْ ابْنِ الْهَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ أَنَّ نَهْرًا بِبَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ مَا تَقُولُونَ هَلْ يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ قَالُوا لَا يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ شَيْءٌ قَالَ ذَاكَ مَثَلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِهَا الْخَطَايَا حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْهَادِ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
English Translation
Abu Hurayrah heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: "Do you think that if there were a river at the door of one of you, and he bathed in it five times a day, would any dirt remain on him?" They said: No dirt would remain on him. He said: "That is the likeness of the five daily prayers; Allah wipes away sins by them." Qutaybah also narrated from Layth ibn Sa'd from Ibn al-Had a similar hadith.
