Virtues of Salaat 2

Abu Zar (Radhi Allaho anho) narrates that once the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) came out of his house. It was Autumn and the leaves were falling off the trees. He caught hold of a branch of a tree and its leaves began to drop in large number. At this he remarked, ‘O, Abu Zar! (Radhi Allaho anho) when a Muslim offers his Salaat to please Allah, his sins are shed away from him just as these leaves are falling of this tree’.
