191 - Chapter: The Merits of Congregational Prayer.

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: «صَلَاةُ الْجَمَاعَةِ أَفْضَلُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ﷺ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْفَذِّ بِسَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً» مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ. ١٠٦٥ -

1064 - Ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Congregational prayer is twenty-seven degrees superior to praying alone." Agreed upon.

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ تُضَعَّفُ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَفِي سُوقِهِ خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ ضِعْفًا، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، لَا يُخْرِجُهُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةُ، لَمْ يَخْطُ خَطْوَةً إِلَّا رُفِعَتْ لَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةٌ، وَحُطَّتْ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةٌ، فَإِذَا صَلَّى لَمْ تَزَلِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ مَا دَامَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ، مَا لَمْ يُحْدِثْ، تَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ، اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ، وَلَا يَزَالُ فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انْتَظَرَ الصَّلَاةَ مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ (١)، وَهَذَا لَفْظُ الْبُخَارِيِّ. الشَّرْحُ

1065 - Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "A man’s prayer in congregation is twenty-five times more rewarding than his prayer at home or in the marketplace. This is because when he performs his ablution thoroughly and sets out for the mosque with no purpose other than prayer, every step he takes elevates his status and wipes away a sin. Once he prays, the angels continue to bless him as long as he remains in his place of worship, provided he does not break his ablution. They say: O Allah, bless him; O Allah, have mercy on him. He is considered to be in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer to begin." Agreed upon (1), and this is the wording of Al-Bukhari.
