Information for "MuwataMalik-017-001-36105"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham Ibn Urwa from his father from Humran; the mawla of Uthman Ibn Affan; that Uthman Ibn Affan was once sitting on the Maqaid the benches surrounding the Madina Masjid; or else a stone near Uthman Ibn Affan house where he sat to discuss with people ; when the muadhdhin came and told him that it was time for the asr prayer. He called for water and did Ablution. Then he said; By Allah; I shall tell you something which I would not tell you if it were not in the Book of Allah. I heard the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; say; If a man does Ablution; and makes sure he does it correctly; and then does the prayer; he will be forgiven everything that he does between then and the time when he prays the next prayer. Yahya said that Malik said; I believe he meant this ayat - Establish prayer at the two ends of the day and in some watches of the night. Good actions take away wrong actions. That is a reminder for those who remember. Surat 11 ayat 114.
