Sunan Ibn Majah 4200 (Book 37, Hadith 101) #33556
The Reward of Praying Publicly and Privately

SUMMARY: Allah rewards those who pray in public and in private.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: "If a person prays in public and does it well, and he prays in secret and does it well, then Allah says: 'This man is truly My slave.’"
حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ وَرْقَاءَ بْنِ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ ذَكْوَانَ أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا صَلَّى فِي الْعَلاَنِيَةِ فَأَحْسَنَ وَصَلَّى فِي السِّرِّ فَأَحْسَنَ - قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَذَا عَبْدِي حَقًّا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of prayer and how Allah rewards those who pray both publicly and privately. It is narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said that if a person prays in public with sincerity and devotion, then he will be rewarded for it. Similarly, if a person prays in private with sincerity and devotion, then he will also be rewarded for it. This shows us that Allah appreciates both types of prayers equally; whether it is done publicly or privately. Therefore, we should strive to make our prayers meaningful so that we can receive the reward from Allah for them.
