Prayer said by a man in congregation is twenty five degrees more excellent than prayer said by him alone in his house or in the market. This is because when any of you performs ablution and does it perfectly, and goes out to the mosque having no intention except praying, and nothing moves him except prayer, then at every step which he takes his rank is elevated by one degree on account of this (walking), and one sin is remitted from him for this (walking), till he enters the mosque. When he enters the mosque, he will be reckoned as praying as long as he will be detained by the prayer. The angels keep on invoking blessing on any of you so long as he remains seated in the place he prayer, saying: O Allah, forgive him; O Allah, have mercy on him; O Allah, accept his repentance so long as he does not harm anyone, or breaks his ablution. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 559)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَضْلُ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَصَلَاتِهِ فِي سُوقِهِ خَمْسَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ دَرَجَةً وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي الْمَسْجِدَ لَا يَنْهَزُهُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةُ إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ دَرَجَةٌ وَحُطَّ عَنْهُ خَطِيئَةٌ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ كَانَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ مَا كَانَتِ الصَّلَاةُ تَحْبِسُهُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ تُصَلِّي عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ مَا دَامَ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ الَّذِي صَلَّى فِيهِ اللهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ مَا لَمْ يُؤْذِ فِيهِ مَا لَمْ يُحْدِثْ فِيهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever purifies himself in his house and then walks to one of the houses of Allah, and performs one of the obligatory acts of Allah, his steps will erase one sin and raise him one rank. The narration of Al-Hafiz and Al-Qadi states that he performs one of the obligatory acts of Allah, his steps will erase one sin and raise him one rank."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ تَطَهَّرَ فِي بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ مَشَى إِلَى بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ اللهِ تَعَالَى فَيَقْضِي فَرِيضَةً مِنْ فَرَائِضِ اللهِ كَانَتْ خُطُوَاتُهُ إِحْدَاهُمَا تَحُطُّ خَطِيئَةً وَالْأُخْرَى تَرْفَعُ دَرَجَةً لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الْحَافِظِ وَالْقَاضِي وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الْمِصْرِيِّ يُؤَدِّي فَرِيضَةً مِنْ فَرَائِضِ اللهِ كَانَتْ خَطْوَتَاهُ إِحْدَاهُمَا تَحُطُّ عَنْهُ خَطِيئَةً وَالْأُخْرَى تَرْفَعُ لَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً  

"When a man goes out of his house to his Masjid, one foot records a good deed and the other erases a bad deed." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 705)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِهِ فَرِجْلٌ تَكْتُبُ حَسَنَةً وَأُخْرَى تَمْحُو سَيِّئَةً  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Should I not suggest to you that by which Allah obliterates the sins and elevates the ranks (of a man). They (the hearers) said: Yes, Messenger of Allah. He said: Performing the ablution thoroughly despite odds, tranverside of more paces towards the mosque, and waiting for the next prayer after observing a prayer, and that is mindfulness. (Using translation from Muslim 251a)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا يَمْحُو اللهُ بِهِ الْخَطَايَا وَيَرْفَعُ بِهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Whoever goes to the mosque in the morning and evening, Allah will prepare for him a place in Jannah (Paradise) every time he goes and comes back."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ غَدَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَرَاحَ أَعَدَّ اللهُ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ نُزُلًا كُلَّمَا غَدَا وَرَاحَ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Have you considered if one of you had a river at his door from which he bathed five times every day, would any filth be left on him?' They said, 'No filth would be left on him.' He said, 'That is the likeness of the five daily prayers. Allah wipes away sins through them.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ أَنَّ نَهْرًا بِبَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ هَلْ يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ شَيْءٌ؟ أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ قَالُوا لَا يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ شَيْءٌ قَالَ فَذَلِكَ مِثْلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ يَمْحُو اللهُ بِهِنَّ الْخَطَايَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ عَبْدَانَ كَذَلِكَ الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ يُذْهِبْنَ الْخَطَايَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The example of the five daily prayers is like a river flowing at the door of one of you in which he washes five times a day." Al-Hasan said, "What is left of that river is the wording of the hadith of Abu Mu'awiya." And in the hadith of Ya'la bin 'Ubaid, it is added, "So what remains of its dirt?"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَثْلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ كَمَثَلِ نَهْرٍ جَارٍ عَلَى بَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ وَمَا يُبْقِي ذَلِكَ مِنَ الدَّرَنِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ يَعْلَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ أَدْرَجَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ فَمَاذَا يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ؟  

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 558)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُتَطَهِّرًا إِلَى صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْحَاجِّ الْمُحْرِمِ وَمَنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى تَسْبِيحِ الضُّحَى لَا يَنْصِبُهُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ وَصَلَاةٌ عَلَى أَثَرِ صَلَاةٍ لَا لَغْوَ بَيْنَهُمَا كِتَابٌ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "When a man purifies himself and then goes to the mosque to observe prayer, a scribe writes for him ten rewards for every step he takes towards the mosque. And the one who sits and waits for the prayer is considered as if he is in the state of prayer, and he is recorded among those who are praying from the time he leaves his house until he returns."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا تَطَهَّرَ الرَّجُلُ ثُمَّ مَرَّ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ يَرْعَى الصَّلَاةَ كَتَبَ لَهُ كَاتِبَاهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ يَخْطُوهَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ وَالْقَاعِدُ يَرْعَى الصَّلَاةَ كَالْقَانِتِ وَيُكْتَبُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ مِنْ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Give good tidings to those who walk to the mosques in darkness for having a perfect light on the Day of Judgment. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 561)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَشِّرِ الْمَشَّائِينَ فِي الظُّلَمِ إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ بِالنُّورِ التَّامِّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Give good tidings to those who walk to the mosques in darkness for having a perfect light on the Day of Judgment. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 561)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ بَشِّرِ الْمَشَّائِينَ فِي ظُلَمِ اللَّيْلِ إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ بِالنُّورِ التَّامِّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ said, "Give glad tidings to those who walk in the darkness to the mosques with complete light on the Day of Resurrection."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ بَشِّرِ الْمَشَّائِينَ فِي الظُّلَمِ إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ بِالنُّورِ التَّامِّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
