Sahih Muslim 251a (Book 2, Hadith 54) #7758
Erasing Sins and Elevating Ranks

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) suggested that performing ablution thoroughly, walking to the mosque, and waiting for the next prayer are acts that can help erase sins and elevate one's rank.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah said: Should I not suggest to you that by which Allah obliterates the sins and elevates the ranks (of a man). They (the hearers) said: Yes, Messenger of Allah. He said: Performing the ablution thoroughly despite odds, tranverside of more paces towards the mosque, and waiting for the next prayer after observing a prayer, and that is mindfulness.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُ، حُجْرٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، - قَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - أَخْبَرَنِي الْعَلاَءُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَطَايَا وَيَرْفَعُ بِهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ فَذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to erase sins and elevate one's rank in Allah's eyes. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) suggested three things that can help achieve this goal. Firstly, he said to perform ablution thoroughly despite any difficulties or obstacles. This means washing all parts of the body with water according to Islamic teachings before praying or reading Quran. Secondly, he said to walk a lot towards the mosque when going for prayers as it is an act of worship in itself. Lastly, he said to wait for the next prayer after observing a prayer which means not leaving immediately after finishing prayers but rather staying in remembrance of Allah until it is time for another prayer. All these acts are signs of mindfulness which is highly valued by Allah SWT as it shows dedication towards Him and His teachings.
