حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ حَدَّثَنَا السَّائِبُ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَائِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ فِي قَرْيَةٍ وَلَا بَدْوٍ لَا تُقَامُ فِيهِمْ الصَّلَاةُ إِلَّا قَدْ اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمْ الشَّيْطَانُ فَعَلَيْکَ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّمَا يَأْکُلُ الذِّئْبُ الْقَاصِيَةَ قَالَ زَائِدَةُ قَالَ السَّائِبُ يَعْنِي بِالْجَمَاعَةِ الصَّلَاةَ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ

Narrated Abud Darda: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If there are three men in a village or in the desert among whom prayer is not offered (in congregation), the devil has got the mastery over them. So observe (prayer) in congregation), for the wolf eats only the straggling animal. Saib said: By the word Jama'ah he meant saying prayer in company or in congregation.

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَتُقَامَ ثُمَّ آمُرَ رَجُلًا فَيُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَنْطَلِقَ مَعِي بِرِجَالٍ مَعَهُمْ حُزَمٌ مِنْ حَطَبٍ إِلَی قَوْمٍ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ الصَّلَاةَ فَأُحَرِّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ بُيُوتَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying; I thought to give orders for arranging prayer in congregation, and then to have the Iqamah called for it, then to order a man to lead the people in prayer, then to go off in company of the people who have bundles of firewood to those people who are not present at the prayer and then to burn down their houses with fire.

حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمَلِيحِ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَصَمِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ فِتْيَتِي فَيَجْمَعُوا حُزَمًا مِنْ حَطَبٍ ثُمَّ أَاتِيَ قَوْمًا يُصَلُّونَ فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ لَيْسَتْ بِهِمْ عِلَّةٌ فَأُحَرِّقَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ قُلْتُ لِيَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ يَا أَبَا عَوْفٍ الْجُمُعَةَ عَنَی أَوْ غَيْرَهَا قَالَ صُمَّتَا أُذُنَايَ إِنْ لَمْ أَکُنْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَأْثُرُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا ذَکَرَ جُمُعَةً وَلَا غَيْرَهَا

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: I thought about giving orders to some youths for gathering a bundle of firewood, then going off to some people who their prayers in their homes without any excuse, and burning down their houses over them. I (Yazid bin Yazid) said: I asked Yazid bin al-Asamm: Abu Awf did he mean Friday (prayer) or any other? He replied: may my ears become deaf if I have not heard Abu Hurairah narrating it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; He did not mention Friday (prayer) or any other.

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْأَقْمَرِ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَافِظُوا عَلَی هَؤُلَائِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَی بِهِنَّ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَی وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَرَعَ لِنَبِيِّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُنَنَ الْهُدَی وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَمَا يَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْهَا إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ بَيِّنُ النِّفَاقِ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُهَادَی بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ حَتَّی يُقَامَ فِي الصَّفِّ وَمَا مِنْکُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا وَلَهُ مَسْجِدٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَلَوْ صَلَّيْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِکُمْ وَتَرَکْتُمْ مَسَاجِدَکُمْ تَرَکْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّکُمْ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَوْ تَرَکْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّکُمْ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَکَفَرْتُمْ

Abdullah bin Masud said: Persevere in observing these five times of prayer where the announcement for them is made, because they are from the paths of right guidance. And Allah, the Might, the Majestic, has laid down for his prophet ﷺ the paths of right guidance. I have seen the time when no one stayed away from prayer except a hypocrite whose hypocrite was well known. I witnessed the time when a man would be brought swaying between two men till he was set up in the row (of the prayer). Every one of us has a mosque of his in his house. If you were to pray in your houses and stay from your mosques. You would abandon the Sunnah (practice) of your prophet, and if you were Abandon the Sunnah (Practice) of your Prophet, you would become an unbeliever.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَنَابٍ عَنْ مَغْرَائَ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ سَمِعَ الْمُنَادِيَ فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ مِنْ اتِّبَاعِهِ عُذْرٌ قَالُوا وَمَا الْعُذْرُ قَالَ خَوْفٌ أَوْ مَرَضٌ لَمْ تُقْبَلْ مِنْهُ الصَّلَاةُ الَّتِي صَلَّی قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد رَوَی عَنْ مَغْرَائَ أَبُو إِسْحَقَ

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: If anyone hears him who makes the call to prayer and is not prevented from joining the congregation by any excuse--he was asked what an excuse consisted of and replied that it was fear or illness--the prayer he offers will not be accepted from him.

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَکْتُومٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ شَاسِعُ الدَّارِ وَلِي قَائِدٌ لَا يُلَائِمُنِي فَهَلْ لِي رُخْصَةٌ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي قَالَ هَلْ تَسْمَعُ النِّدَائَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا أَجِدُ لَکَ رُخْصَةً

Narrated Amr ibn Zadah, Ibn Umm Maktum: Ibn Umm Maktum asked the Prophet ﷺ saying: Messenger of Allah, I am a blind man, my house is far away (from the mosque), and I have a guide who does not follow me. Is it possible that permission be granted to me for saying prayer in my house? He asked: Do you hear summons (adhan)? He said: Yes. He said: I do not find any permission for you.

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الزَّرْقَائِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَابِسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَی عَنْ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَکْتُومٍ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ کَثِيرَةُ الْهَوَامِّ وَالسِّبَاعِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَسْمَعُ حَيَّ عَلَی الصَّلَاةِ حَيَّ عَلَی الْفَلَاحِ فَحَيَّ هَلًا قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَکَذَا رَوَاهُ الْقَاسِمُ الْجَرْمِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ لَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ حَيَّ هَلًا

Narrated Ibn Umm Maktum: Messenger of Allah, there are many venomous creatures and wild beasts in Madina (so allow me to pray in my house because I am blind). The Prophet ﷺ said: Do you hear the call, "Come to prayer, " "Come to salvation"? (He said: Yes. ) Then you must come. Abu Dawud said: Al-Qasim al-Jarmi has narrated this tradition from Sufyan in a similar manner. But his version does not contain the words "Then you must come. "

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ کَعْبٍ قَالَ صَلَّی بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا الصُّبْحَ فَقَالَ أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ إِنَّ هَاتَيْنِ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ أَثْقَلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ عَلَی الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِيهِمَا لَأَتَيْتُمُوهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا عَلَی الرُّکَبِ وَإِنَّ الصَّفَّ الْأَوَّلَ عَلَی مِثْلِ صَفِّ الْمَلَائِکَةِ وَلَوْ عَلِمْتُمْ مَا فَضِيلَتُهُ لَابْتَدَرْتُمُوهُ وَإِنَّ صَلَاةَ الرَّجُلِ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ أَزْکَی مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَحْدَهُ وَصَلَاتُهُ مَعَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ أَزْکَی مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ وَمَا کَثُرَ فَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَی اللَّهِ تَعَالَی

Narrated Ubayy ibn Kab: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the dawn prayer one day. And he said: Is so and so present? They said: No. He (again) asked: Is so and so present? They replied: No. He then said: These two prayers are the ones which are most burdensome to hypocrites. If you knew what they contain (i. e. blessings), you would come to them, even though you had to crawl on your knees. The first row is like that of the angels, and if you knew the nature of its excellence, you would race to join it. A man's prayer said along with another is purer than his prayer said alone, and his prayer with two men is purer than his prayer with one, but if there are more it is more pleasing to Allah, the Almighty, the Majestic.

Uthman bin Affan reported the Messenger of Allah (may peace be him) as saying; if anyone says the night prayer in congregation, he is like one who keeps vigil (in prayer) till midnight; and he who says both the night and dawn prayer in congregation is like one who keeps vigil (in prayer) the whole night.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْأَبْعَدُ فَالْأَبْعَدُ مِنْ الْمَسْجِدِ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: The further one is from the mosque, the greater will be one's reward.

الْأَبْعَدُ فَالْأَبْعَدُ مِنْ الْمَسْجِدِ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا ← النَّبِيِّ ← أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ← عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، ← عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ ← ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ← يَحْيَى ← مُسَدَّدٌ

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ أَنَّ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ کَعْبٍ قَالَ کَانَ رَجُلٌ لَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا مِنْ النَّاسِ مِمَّنْ يُصَلِّي الْقِبْلَةَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَبْعَدَ مَنْزِلًا مِنْ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْ ذَلِکَ الرَّجُلِ وَکَانَ لَا تُخْطِئُهُ صَلَاةٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقُلْتُ لَوْ اشْتَرَيْتَ حِمَارًا تَرْکَبُهُ فِي الرَّمْضَائِ وَالظُّلْمَةِ فَقَالَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ مَنْزِلِي إِلَی جَنْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَنُمِيَ الْحَدِيثُ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ ذَلِکَ فَقَالَ أَرَدْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يُکْتَبَ لِي إِقْبَالِي إِلَی الْمَسْجِدِ وَرُجُوعِي إِلَی أَهْلِي إِذَا رَجَعْتُ فَقَالَ أَعْطَاکَ اللَّهُ ذَلِکَ کُلَّهُ أَنْطَاکَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ کُلَّهُ أَجْمَعَ

Ubayy bin Kaab said: There was a certain person, out of all people of Madina, who used to pray in the mosque. I do not know that any one of them lived at a farther distance than that man. Still he never missed the prayer in congregation in the mosque. I said: it would be better if you buy a donkey and ride it in heat and darkness. He said: I do not like that my house be by the side of the mosque. The discourse reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said him about it. He said: I did it so that my walking to the mosque and return to my home when I return be recorded. He said: Allah has granted all this to you; Allah has granted all that you reckoned.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُتَطَهِّرًا إِلَی صَلَاةٍ مَکْتُوبَةٍ فَأَجْرُهُ کَأَجْرِ الْحَاجِّ الْمُحْرِمِ وَمَنْ خَرَجَ إِلَی تَسْبِيحِ الضُّحَی لَا يَنْصِبُهُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ فَأَجْرُهُ کَأَجْرِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ وَصَلَاةٌ عَلَی أَثَرِ صَلَاةٍ لَا لَغْوَ بَيْنَهُمَا کِتَابٌ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ

Narrated Abu Umamah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If anyone goes out from his house after performing ablution for saying the prescribed prayer in congregation (in the mosque), his reward will be like that of one who goes for hajj pilgrimage after wearing ihram (robe worn by the hajj pilgrims). And he who goes out to say the mid-morning (duha) prayer, and takes the trouble for this purpose, will take the reward like that of a person who performs Umrah. And a prayer followed by a prayer with no worldly talk during the gap between them will be recorded in Illiyyun.
