The Rewards of Praying in Congregation

SUMMARY: Praying Isha and Fajr in congregation is equivalent to spending the night in prayer.

It was narrated from 'Uthman bin 'Affan (رضي الله عنه) '.Abdur-Razzaq said: from the Prophet - that he said: 'Whoever prays 'Isha' and Fajr prayer in congregation, it is as if he spent the night in prayer (qiyamul-lail)"'.Abdur-Rahman said: Whoever prays 'Isha' in congregation, it is as if he spent half the night in prayer, and whoever prays Fajr in congregation, it is as if he spent the entire night in prayer,
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ وَالصُّبْحِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ فَهُوَ كَقِيَامِ لَيْلَةٍ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ مَنْ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ فَهُوَ كَقِيَامِ نِصْفِ لَيْلَةٍ وَمَنْ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ فَهُوَ كَقِيَامِ لَيْلَةٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the rewards of praying Isha and Fajr in congregation. It was narrated from Uthman bin Affan that Prophet Muhammad said that whoever prays Isha and Fajr prayer in congregation, it is as if he spent the night in prayer. Abdur-Rahman added that whoever prays Isha in congregation, it is as if he spent half the night in prayer and whoever prays Fajr in congregation, it is as if he spent the entire night praying. This hadith encourages Muslims to pray together with other believers at their local mosque or masjid for greater rewards from Allah SWT. By doing so they will be rewarded for their efforts just like they would have been rewarded for spending a whole night awake praying to Allah SWT. It also teaches us about how important it is to come together with other believers and strengthen our faith by being part of a community of believers who are striving towards one goal - pleasing Allah SWT through worshiping Him alone.
