And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds. That is a reminder for those who remember.
And establish prayer at the two ends of the day, at first light and before sunset, that is, [pray] in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon, and in some watches (zulafan is the plural of zulfa), a portion, of the night, that is, at sunset and late evening. Indeed good deeds, such as the five prayers, annul misdeeds, minor sins: this was revealed regarding one who kissed a female stranger and told the Prophet may peace and salutation be upon him about it, and then asked him, 'Is this [verse true] for me?' and the Prophet said to him, 'It is [so] for every person of my community', as reported by the two Shaykhs [Bukhaaree and Muslim]. That is a remembrance for the mindful, an admonition for those who heed them.
