Hadith on Prayer: Salat removes sins like leaves from a tree

Salman al-Farisi reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, the Muslim prays while his sins hang over his head. Every time he prostrates, some of them drop. When he finishes his prayer, his sins will have fallen away.

عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ يُصَلِّي وَخَطَايَاهُ مَرْفُوعَةٌ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ كُلَّمَا سَجَدَ تَحَاطَّتْ فَيَفْرُغُ حِينَ يَفْرُغُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَقَدْ تَحَاتَتْ خَطَايَاهُ
