مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3623
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (RA) said: Whoever would like to meet Allah tomorrow as a Muslim, let him pay attention to praying these five (daily) prayers when the call for them is given, for they are part of the ways of guidance, and Allah prescribed the ways of guidance to your Prophet (PBUH). There is no one among you who does not have a prayer-space in his house, but if you pray in your houses as this one who stays away (from the prayer in congregation) does, you will have abandoned the Sumiah of your Prophet (PBUH), and if you abandon the Sumiah of your Prophet you will go astray. I remember when no one stayed away from it (i.e., the prayer in congregation) except a hypocrite who was known for his hypocrisy. I have seen a man coming supported by two others, until he was made to stand in the row (of worshippers). The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "There is no man who does zvudoo' and does it well, and comes to the mosque and prays there, but for every step that he takes he will be raised in status one degree thereby, or one of his sins will be erased, or one good deed will be recorded for him." So we would make our steps short. And a man's prayer offered in congregation is superior to his prayer offered on his own by twenty-five degrees."
