Mukhtasar Sahih Al-Bukhari

Once in Iraq, Al-Mughîra bin Shu'ba delayed his-(the prayers) and I went to him and said, O Mughîra ! What is this? Don't you know that once Jibrael (Gabriel) came and offered the Salât (prayer) (Fajr prayer) and Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the Salât (prayer) too, then he offered the Salât (prayer) again (Zuhr prayer) and so did Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) and again he offered the Salât (prayer) (prayer) and Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) did the same; again he offered the (prayer) (Maghrib prayer) and so did Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) and again offered the (prayer) (Ishâ ' prayer) and so did Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) and [Jibrael (Gabriel) said, 'I was ordered to do so [to demonstrate the (prayers) prescribed to you]? ' [1:500 (A)-O.B.]

Once we were sitting with 'Umar and he said, "Who amongst you remembers the statement of Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) about the Al-Fitnah (trial or affliction etc.)?" I said, "I know it as the Prophet (ﷺ) had said it." 'Umar said, "No doubt you are bold." I said, "The Al-Fitnah (trial or afflictions etc.) caused for a man by his wife, money, children and neighbour is expiated by his As-Salât (the prayers),-Şaum (the fasts), charity and by enjoining Al-Ma'ruf (Islâmic Monotheism and all that Allâh has ordained) and forbidding Al-Munkar (disbelief, polytheism, and all that Allâh has forbidden)." 'Umar said, "I did not mean that but I asked about that Al-Fitnah (trial or affliction etc.) which will spread like the waves of the sea." I (Hudhaifa) said, O leader of the faithful believers ! You need not be afraid of it as there is a closed door between you and it. 'Umar asked, "Will the door be broken or opened?" I replied, "It will be broken." 'Umar said, "Then it will never be closed again." I was asked whether 'Umar knew that door. I replied that he knew it as one knows that there will be night before the tomorrow morning. I have narrated a that was free from any mis-statement." (The subnarrator added that they deputed Masrûq to ask Hudhaifa) about the door. Hudhaifa said, "The door was 'Umar himself." [1:503-O.B.]

A man kissed a woman (unlawfully) and then went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him. So Allâh revealed: " And perform Iqâmat-As-Salat [1], at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night [i.e. the five compulsory (prayers)]. Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e. small sins) " (V.11:114). The man asked Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) " Is this ' instruction for me only?" He said, "It is for all those of my followers (who encounter a similar situation)." [1:504-O.B.]

In another narration 'Abdullâh bin Mas'ud said: "It is for all those of my followers who committed the above mentioned sin (unlawful kissing) ". [1:504-O.B.]

I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) " Which deed is the dearest to Allâh?" He replied, "To offer As-Salât (the prayers) at their early stated fixed times." I asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I again asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" He replied, "To participate in Jihâd (religious fighting) in Allâh's Cause." ('Abdullâh) added, "These were told by the Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) and if I had asked more, he would have told me more. [1:505-O.B.]

I heard Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "If there was a river at the door of anyone of you and he took a bath in it five times a day, would you notice any dirt on him?" They said, "Not a trace of dirt would be left." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "That is the example of the five Salât (prayers) with which Allâh blots out (annuls) evil deeds." [1:506-O.B.]
