In a Hadith reference, Abdullah ibn Mas'ud narrates "I asked Allah's Messenger, Prophet Muhammed: ""O Messenger of Allah, which deed is most beloved to Allah?"" He said: ""Prayer at the appointed time."" I said: ""Then what?"" He said: ""Kindness to parents."" I said: ""Then what?"" He said: ""Jihad (struggle) in the way of Allah.""". Prophet Muhammed is also reported to have likened the Salaah to five daily baths that cleanse a persons sins; Abu Huraira narrates that ""I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "If there was a river at the door of anyone of you and he took a bath in it five times a day would you notice any dirt on him?" They said, "Not a trace of dirt would be left." The Prophet added, "That is the example of the five prayers with which Allah blots out (annuls) evil deeds.""
