Sunan Ibn Majah 428 (Book 1, Hadith 162) #29780
The Power of Ablution and Prayer

SUMMARY: Sins can be forgiven by performing ablution, taking more steps towards the mosque, and waiting for the next prayer after prayer.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that: The Prophet said: "Sins are expiated by well-performed ablution despite difficulties, increasing the number of steps one takes towards the mosque, (and waiting for the next prayer after prayer)".
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ كَفَّارَاتُ الْخَطَايَا إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ وَإِعْمَالُ الأَقْدَامِ إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the power of ablution and prayer in expiating sins. Performing ablution is a ritual cleansing that Muslims must do before they pray. It involves washing certain parts of the body with water or sand. Taking more steps towards the mosque is also seen as a way to increase one's reward from Allah for their prayers. Finally, waiting for the next prayer after praying is seen as an act of piety that will help expiate sins. All these acts are seen as ways to draw closer to Allah and receive His mercy and forgiveness.
