Riyad as-Salihin, 1043
Jabiru (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The similitude of the five (obligatory) Salat is like a river running at the door of one of you in which he takes a bath five times a day." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن جابر رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
مثل الصلوات الخمس كمثل نهر غمر جار على باب أحدكم يغتسل منه كل يوم خمس مرات
.((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) Through the five prayers, Allah Almighty obliterates a person’s sins until he becomes pure and free from all sin.<br>
2) Setting examples for educational purposes makes understanding easier.<br>
3) The more a person performs prayer in the proper manner, the more his sins will be expiated. So, we should be keen to learn how exactly the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray so that we will be rewarded with the expiation of our sins.
