Riyad as-Salihin 1044 (Book 8, Hadith 54) #37533
Erasing Minor Sins Through Good Deeds

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who committed a sin and was told by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that all of his Ummah can erase their minor sins through good deeds.

Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man kissed a woman. So he came to the Messenger of Allah and informed him about it. Then Allah revealed this Ayah: "And perform the Salat, between the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. Verily, the good deeds efface the evil deeds (ie, minor sins)". (11:114) The man asked the Messenger of Allah whether this applies to him only. The Messenger of Allah said, "It applies to all of my Ummah". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه أن رجلا أصاب من امرأة قُبلةً، فأتى النبي فأخبره فأنزل الله تعالى‏:‏ ‏{‏أقم الصلاة طرفي النهار وزلفًا من الليل، إن الحسنات يذهبن السيئات‏}‏ فقال الرجل‏:‏ ألي هذا‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏لجميع أمتي كلهم‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of repentance and forgiveness in Islam. It tells us that even if we make mistakes or commit sins, we can still be forgiven by Allah if we repent and do good deeds. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that this applies to all of his Ummah - meaning all Muslims - so it is important for us to remember this when we make mistakes or do something wrong. We should not despair but instead turn to Allah in repentance and strive to do more good deeds so that our bad deeds are erased. Doing good deeds such as praying on time, being kind to others, helping those in need etc., will help us erase our minor sins and bring us closer to Allah's mercy.
