Etiquettes of going to the masjid that erases sins and raises ranks
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Shall I not direct you to that by which Allah erases sins and raises ranks?” They said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He said: “(1) Performing ablution thoroughly despite hardships, (2) taking many steps to the mosques, and (3) waiting for the next prayer after the prayer; that is the ribat (steadfast vigilance).”
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «أَلاَ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَطَايَا وَيَرْفَعُ بِهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ؟» قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «(١) إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ، (٢) وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ، (٣) وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ، فَذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ»
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of ʿAli b. ʿAbd al-Rahman with the same chain of transmitters and there is no mention of the word of al-Ribat in the hadith transmitted by Shuʿba and in the hadith narrated by Malik "Ribat" has been mentioned twice. This is the "Ribat" for you, this is the "Ribat" for you.
