ahmad:4158Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah And Ḥajjāj > Shuʿbah > Ḥajjāj > ʿUqbah b. Wassāj > Abū al-Aḥwaṣ > ʿAbdullāh

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "The virtue of a man's prayer in congregation over his prayer alone is twenty-five degrees." Hajjaj said, "Shu'bah did not raise it for me, but raised it for others." He (Shu'bah) said, "I am reluctant to raise it because Abdullah rarely raises it except to the Prophet ﷺ ."  

أحمد:٤١٥٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ وَسَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَضْلُ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ فِي الْجَمِيعِ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ وَحْدَهُ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ دَرَجَةً قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ شُعْبَةُ لِي وَقَدْ رَفَعَهُ لِغَيْرِي قَالَ أَنَا أَهَابُ أَنْ أَرْفَعَهُ لِأَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ قَلَّمَا كَانَ يَرْفَعُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
