Sunan Abi Dawud 555 (Book 2, Hadith 165) #20846
The Benefits of Praying in Congregation

SUMMARY: The hadith encourages people to pray in congregation, as it is equivalent to praying the whole night.

'Uthman b. 'Affan reported the Messenger of Allah (may peace be him) as saying; if anyone says the night prayer in congregation, he is like one who keeps vigil (in prayer) till midnight; and he who says both the night and dawn prayer in congregation is like one who keeps vigil (in prayer) the whole night.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي سَهْلٍ، - يَعْنِي عُثْمَانَ بْنَ حَكِيمٍ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ كَانَ كَقِيَامِ نِصْفِ لَيْلَةٍ وَمَنْ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ وَالْفَجْرَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ كَانَ كَقِيَامِ لَيْلَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith encourages Muslims to pray in congregation, as it is equivalent to praying the whole night. It emphasizes the importance of communal prayer and how it can be beneficial for one's spiritual growth and development. Praying in congregation means that a group of people come together at a certain time and place to perform their prayers together, following the same rituals and reciting from the same book. This helps create a sense of unity among believers, as they are all performing an act of worship together. Additionally, when done regularly, this practice can help strengthen one's faith and commitment towards Allah SWT by reminding them that they are part of something bigger than themselves. Furthermore, praying with others also serves as an accountability system; if someone misses their prayer or does not perform it properly then they will be reminded by those around them which helps keep them on track with their religious obligations.
