Kutoka kwa Abdullah bin Mas'ud (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) reported: "A man kissed a woman. So he came to the Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) and informed him about it. Then Allah revealed this Ayah: "And perform the Salat, between the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. Verily, the matendo mema efface the evil deeds (i.e., minor sins)." (11:114) The man asked the Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) whether this applies to him only. The Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) said, "It applies to all of my Ummah."."

Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man kissed a woman. So he came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and informed him about it. Then Allah revealed this Ayah: "And perform the Salat, between the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. Verily, the good deeds efface the evil deeds (i.e., minor sins)." (11:114) The man asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) whether this applies to him only. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "It applies to all of my Ummah.".
