The five prayers, Friday and Ramadan: expiations for what lies between

الصلوات الخمس والجمعة ورمضان: مكفرات ما بينهن

The five prayers, Friday to Friday and Ramadan to Ramadan are expiations for what lies between them when the major sins are avoided, in Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him)'s narration in Muslim Sahih Muslim 552 — forgiveness of past sins. The text sets an explicit condition on the erasure, the avoiding of major sins, a limit matched by the verse of al-Nisa' on the remission of bad deeds for those who avoid the gravest of what is forbidden Qur'an 4:31.
