أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ طَحْلَائَ عَنْ مُحْصِنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْفِهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوئَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عَامِدًا إِلَی الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَجَدَ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَلَّوْا کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِثْلَ أَجْرِ مَنْ حَضَرَهَا وَلَا يَنْقُصُ ذَلِکَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 859
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Whoever performs Wudu’ and does it well, then sets out for the Masjid and finds that the people have already prayed, Allah will decree for him a reward like that of those who attended (the prayer), without reducing the slightest from their reward.” (Hasan)
