Praying in Congregation

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of praying in congregation and how to do it properly.

It was narrated from 'Alqamah and Al-Aswad that: They were with 'Abdullah in his house and he said: "Have these people prayed?" We said: "Yes". So he led them in prayer and stood between them, with no Adhan and no Iqamah, and said: "If you are three then do this, and if you are more than that then let one of you lead the others in prayer, and let him lay his hands on his thighs. It is as if I can see the fingers of the Messenger of Allah , interlaced'."
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، وَالأَسْوَدِ، أَنَّهُمَا كَانَا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَقَالَ أَصَلَّى هَؤُلاَءِ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَأَمَّهُمَا وَقَامَ بَيْنَهُمَا بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَلاَ إِقَامَةٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِذَا كُنْتُمْ ثَلاَثَةً فَاصْنَعُوا هَكَذَا وَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلْيَفْرِشْ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى اخْتِلاَفِ أَصَابِعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of praying in congregation. It was narrated from 'Alqamah and Al-Aswad that they were with 'Abdullah in his house and he asked if they had prayed. When they said yes, he led them in prayer without an Adhan or Iqamah. He then instructed them on how to pray if there are three people or more than three people present. He said that one person should lead the others in prayer by laying their hands on their thighs as if he could see the fingers of Prophet Muhammad interlaced together. This shows us that we should always strive to pray together as a community and follow the example set by Prophet Muhammad when it comes to prayer etiquette.
