Riyad as-Salihin 1065 (Book 8, Hadith 75) #37554
The Rewards of Praying in Congregation

SUMMARY: The hadith explains the rewards of praying in congregation and how it is more rewarding than praying alone.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "A man's Salat in congregation is twenty-five times more rewarding than his Salat at home or in his shop, and that is because when he performs his Wudu' properly and proceeds towards the mosque with the purpose of performing Salat in congregation, he does not take a step without being raised a degree (in rank) for it and having a sin remitted for it, till he enters the mosque. When he is performing Salat, the angels continue to invoke Blessings of Allah on him as long as he is in his place of worship in a state of Wudu'. They say: 'O Allah! Have mercy on him! O Allah! Forgive him'. He is deemed to be engaged in Salat as long as he waits for it". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏صلاة الرجل في جماعة تُضعَّف على صلاته في بيته وفي سوقه خمسًا وعشرين ضعفًا، وذلك أنه إذا توضأ فأحسن الوضوء، ثم خرج إلى المسجد، لا يخرجه إلا الصلاة، لم يخطُ خطوة إلا رفعت له بها درجة، وحطت عنه بها خطيئة، فإذا صلى لم تزل الملائكة تصلي عليه ما دام في مصلاه، ما لم يحدث، تقول اللهم صلِّ عليه، اللهم ارحمه‏.‏ ولا يزال في صلاة ما انتظر الصلاة‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏.‏ وهذا لفظ البخاري‏)‏‏)‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the rewards of praying in congregation and how it is more rewarding than praying alone. It was narrated by Abu Hurairah may Allah be pleased with him that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that when a person performs their ablution properly and goes to the mosque for prayer, they will receive a reward for each step taken towards the mosque. Furthermore, while they are performing prayer in the mosque angels will invoke blessings upon them as long as they remain there. This shows us that we should strive to pray our five daily prayers in congregation at our local mosques whenever possible so we can reap these great rewards from Allah Almighty.
