(Book 8, Hadith 12) #35354
The Reward of Praying in a Group

SUMMARY: Praying with a group in the mosque is equivalent to the reward of praying alone at home.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Afif as-Sahmi that a man from the tribe of Bani Asad asked Abu Ayyub al-Ansari".Sometimes I pray in my house, and then come to the mosque and find the imam praying. Should I pray with him?" Abu Ayyub said, "Yes, pray with him, for some one who does so has the reward of the group, or the equivalent of the reward of the group".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَفِيفٍ السَّهْمِيِّ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي ثُمَّ آتِي الْمَسْجِدَ فَأَجِدُ الإِمَامَ يُصَلِّي أَفَأُصَلِّي مَعَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ نَعَمْ فَصَلِّ مَعَهُ فَإِنَّ مَنْ صَنَعَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ لَهُ سَهْمَ جَمْعٍ أَوْ مِثْلَ سَهْمِ جَمْعٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of praying in a group at the mosque. It tells us that when we pray with others in congregation at the mosque, we will receive an equivalent reward for our prayer as if we were to pray alone at home. This shows us how important it is for Muslims to come together and pray as one community and how Allah rewards those who do so. It also teaches us that even if we are late for prayer and find that someone else has already started praying, it is still beneficial for us to join them and complete our prayer with them.
