Chapter: On the excellence of
the Group prayer
1064. Ibn 'Umar stated that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Prayer in a group is seventy-seven times better than the
prayer of a man by himself." [Agreed upon]
1065. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "The group prayer is twenty-five degrees higher than
the prayer in your house or the prayer in your place of business. Anyone who
does wudu' and goes to the mosque with no other object than to do the prayer,
Allah will raise him up a degree with every step he takes, and a wrong action
will fall away from him. When he prays, the angels pray for him all the time he
is in his place of prayer, 'O Allah! Forgive him! O Allah! Show mercy to him!'
One of you is in the prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer." [Agreed
upon]
1066. Abu Hurayra said, "A blind man came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah, I have no guide to direct me
to the mosque.' He asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, to make an dispensation for him allowing him to pray in his house,
and he gave him that dispensation. When he turned away, he called to him and
said to him, 'Do you hear the call to prayer?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then
respond to it.'" [Muslim]
1067. 'Abdullah - and it is said 'Amr - ibn Qays, known as Ibn Umm Maktum,
the mu'adhdhin, said, "Messenger of Allah, there are many reptiles and wild
beasts in Madina." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "You hear 'Come to the prayer. Come to success,' so come." [Abu
Dawud]
1068. Abu Hurayra reported that Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "By Him in Whose hand my soul is, I seriously considered
ordering someone to collect firewood, ordering the prayer be called, appointing
a man to lead the prayer and then coming up behind certain men and burning their
houses down about them!" [Agreed upon]
1069. Ibn Mas'ud said, "Anyone who wants to meet Allah tomorrow as a Muslim
should observe these prayers when they are called. Allah has prescribed the
sunan of guidance for His Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, and they are part of the sunan of guidance. If you prayed them in your
houses, like this person who does not come prays in his house, you would be
abandoning the sunna of your Prophet. If you were to abandon the
sunna of your Prophet, then you would go astray. I have seen that only
hypocrites, whose hypocrisy is known, fail to come. A man used to be brought to
it, supported between two men, until he was stood up in the prayer line."
[Muslim]
In another variant, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, taught us the sunan of guidance, and part of the sunan
of guidance is the prayer in the mosque from which the call to it is given."
1070. Abu'd-Darda' said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, say, 'If there are three in a village or desert and they do
not pray (together) Shaytan will overpower them. You must perform the group
prayer. The wolf devours the stray sheep." [Abu Dawud]
