Musnad Ahmad 518 (Book 4, Hadith 110) #34184
The Cleansing Power of Prayers

SUMMARY: The five daily prayers are a means of cleansing oneself from sins, just as water cleanses dirt.

Aban bin 'Uthman said: 'Uthman said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "Do you think if there was a river in the courtyard of one of you and he washed himself in it five times each day, would any dirt remain on him? They said: Nothing would remain on him). He said: 'The (five daily) prayers take away sins as water takes away dirt'.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَأَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، قَالَ أَبِي فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، وَقَالَ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ عَمِّهِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ، أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَانَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ بِفِنَاءِ أَحَدِكُمْ نَهَرٌ يَجْرِي يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ مَا كَانَ يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ قَالُوا لَا شَيْءَ قَالَ إِنَّ الصَّلَوَاتِ تُذْهِبُ الذُّنُوبَ كَمَا يُذْهِبُ الْمَاءُ الدَّرَنَ‏.‏
