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

The most eminent among human beings (as a recipient of) reward (is one) who lives farthest away, and who has to walk the farthest distance, and he who waits for the prayer to observe it along with the Imam, his reward is greater than one who prays (alone) and then goes to sleep. In the narration of Abu Kuraib (the words are):" (He waits) till he prays along with the Imam in congregation." (Using translation from Muslim 662)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ النَّاسِ أَجْرًا فِي الصَّلَاةِ أَبْعَدُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا مَمْشًى فَأَبْعَدُهُمْ وَالَّذِي يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا مَعَ الْإِمَامِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا مِنَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّيهَا ثُمَّ يَنَامُ

[Machine] There was a man, whom I don't know anyone from the people of Medina who prayed to the farthest mosque from his house, than anyone else. So, he used to attend the prayers with the Prophet ﷺ . It was said to him, "If you bought a donkey and rode it in the heat and darkness?" He said, "By Allah, I don't like my house to be close to the mosque. So, I informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it." So, he asked him, "O Messenger of Allah, how will my traces, sins, going back to my family, turning towards them and turning away from them be written?" or similar to what he said. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah will give you all of that and will give you what you hoped for." or similar to what he said.

كَانَ رَجُلٌ مَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مِمَّنْ يُصَلِّي الْقِبْلَةَ أَبْعَدَ مَنْزِلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْهُ فَكَانَ يَحْضُرُ الصَّلَوَاتِ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ لَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَ حِمَارًا فَرَكِبْتَهُ فِي الرَّمْضَاءِ وَالظُّلْمَاءِ؟ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ مَنْزِلِي يُلْزِقُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَأُخْبِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِذَلِكَ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْمَا يُكْتَبُ أَثَرِي وَخُطَايَ وَرُجُوعِي إِلَى أَهْلِي وَإِقْبَالِي وَإِدْبَارِي أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْطَاكَ اللهُ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ وَأَعْطَاكَ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ أَجْمَعَ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ

[Machine] From their houses, they approached the mosque and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked that the city would be naked. So he said, "O Banu Salimah, don't you consider your footprints?" They said, "Yes," so they sat down.

عَنْ مَنَازِلِهِمْ فَيَدْنُوا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ تَعْرَى الْمَدِينَةُ فَقَالَ يَا بَنِي سَلِمَةَ أَلَا تَحْتَسِبُونَ آثَارَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى فَأَقَامُوا

[Machine] So the Prophet ﷺ received this message and said, "O people of Salimah, leave your homes, for only the remnants of your presence will be recorded." So they got up and said, "What pleases us is that we have transformed."

فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا بَنِي سَلِمَةَ دِيَارَكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا تُكْتَبُ آثَارُكُمْ قَالَ فَأَقَامُوا وَقَالُوا مَا يَسُرُّنَا أَنَّا كُنَّا تَحَوَّلْنَا

The Prophet ﷺ said: The further one is from the mosque , the greater will be one's reward. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 556)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْأَبْعَدُ فَالْأَبْعَدُ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The most beloved of lands to Allah are its mosques, and the most hated of lands to Allah are its marketplaces."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَحَبُّ الْبِلَادِ إِلَى اللهِ مَسَاجِدُهَا وَأَبْغَضُ الْبِلَادِ إِلَى اللهِ أَسْوَاقُهَا

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which places are the best?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "I do not know." He then asked, "Which places are the worst?" The Prophet ﷺ again replied, "I do not know." Then, Jibril (Gabriel) came to him and the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "O Jibril, which places are the best?" Jibril replied, "I do not know." The Prophet ﷺ asked again, "Which places are the worst?" Jibril replied, "I do not know." Then the Prophet ﷺ said to Jibril, "Ask your Lord." Jibril asked his Lord, and the Prophet ﷺ sat there almost being overwhelmed. Then Jibril returned and said, "Muhammad, I was asked by your Lord, which places are the best?" So I said, "I do not know." And He asked again, "Which places are the worst?" So I said, "I do not know." Then He informed me that the best of places are the mosques and the worst of places are the markets.

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أِيُّ الْبِقَاعِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ فَأِيُّ الْبِقَاعِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا جِبْرِيلُ أِيُّ الْبِقَاعِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ أِيُّ الْبِقَاعِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ سَلْ رَبَّكَ قَالَ فَانْتَقَضَ جِبْرِيلُ انْتِقَاضَةً كَادَ يُصْعَقُ مِنْهَا مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَقَالَ اللهُ سُبْحَانَهُ لِجِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ سَأَلَكَ مُحَمَّدٌ أِيُّ الْبِقَاعِ خَيْرٌ؟ فَقُلْتَ لَا أَدْرِي وَسَأَلَكَ أِيُّ الْبِقَاعِ شَرٌّ؟ فَقُلْتَ لَا أَدْرِي فَأَخْبِرْهُ أَنَّ خَيْرَ الْبِقَاعِ الْمَسَاجِدُ وَأَنَّ شَرَّ الْبِقَاعِ الْأَسْوَاقُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "One of you will continue in prayer as long as the prayer keeps him from returning to his family, except for the prayer."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَزَالُ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا دَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ تَحْبِسُهُ لَا يَمْنَعُهُ أَنْ يَنْقَلِبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةُ

Once he waited for Al-Hasan and he did not show up till it was about the usual time for him to start his speech; then he came and apologized saying, "Our neighbors invited us." Then he added, "Narrated Anas, 'Once we waited for the Prophet ﷺ till it was midnight or about midnight. He came and led the prayer, and after finishing it, he addressed us and said, 'All the people prayed and then slept and you had been in prayer as long as you were waiting for it." Al-Hasan said, "The people are regarded as performing good deeds as long as they are waiting for doing good deeds." Al-Hasan's statement is a portion of Anas's [??] Hadith from the Prophet ﷺ . (Using translation from Bukhārī 600)

قَالَ أَنَسٌ انْتَظَرْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى كَانَ شَطْرُ اللَّيْلِ فَبَلَغَهُ فَجَاءَ فَصَلَّى لَنَا ثُمَّ خَطَبَنَا فَقَالَ أَلَا إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَلُّوا وَرَقَدُوا وَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ وَإِنَّ الْقَوْمَ لَنْ يَزَالُوا فِي خَيْرٍ مَا انْتَظَرُوا الْخَيْرَ قَالَ قُرَّةُ هُوَ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the day when there will be no shade except His. They are: (1) a just ruler; (2) a young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, (i.e. worship Allah (Alone) sincerely from his childhood), (3) a man whose heart is attached to the mosque (who offers the five compulsory congregational prayers in the mosque); (4) two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only; (5) a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for an illegal sexual intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah; (6) a person who practices charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity). (7) a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with tears." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1423)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَبْعَةٌ يُظِلُّهُمُ اللهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِي ظِلِّهِ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ إِمَامٌ عَادِلٌ وَشَابٌّ نَشَأَ فِي عِبَادَةِ اللهِ ﷻ وَرَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللهَ فِي خَلَاءٍ فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ قَلْبُهُ مُعَلَّقًا فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ وَرَجُلَانِ تَحَابَّا فِي اللهِ وَرَجُلٌ دَعَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ مَنْصِبٍ وَجَمَالٍ إِلَى نَفْسِهَا فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ اللهَ وَرَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَأَخْفَاهَا حَتَّى لَمْ تَعْلَمْ شِمَالُهُ مَا صَنَعَتْ يَمِينُهُ

The Messenger of Allah said: "If you see a man frequenting the mosques, then bear witness to his faith. Allah says: 'The mosques of Allah shall be maintained only by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day. [At-Taubah: 18]'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 802)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الرَّجُلَ يَعْتَادُ الْمَسَاجِدَ فَاشْهَدُوا عَلَيْهِ بِالْإِيمَانِ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ} [التوبة 18]

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, the builders of the houses of Allah are the people of Allah, righteous and not strong."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ عُمَّارَ بُيُوتِ اللهِ هُمْ أَهْلُ اللهِ ﷻ صَالِحٌ الْمُرِّيُّ غَيْرُ قَوِيٍّ

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying; one shall have the thing the for which one comes to the mosque. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 472)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ لِشَيْءٍ فَهُوَ حَظُّهُ

"A blind man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺand said: 'I do not have a guide to bring me to the prayer.' And he asked him to grant him a dispensation allowing him to pray in his house, and he gave him permission. Then when he turned away he said to him: 'Can you hear the call to prayer?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then respond to it."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 850)

جَاءَ أَعْمَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي قَائِدٌ يَقُودُنِي إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُرَخِّصَ لَهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى دَعَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ هَلْ تَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ بِالصَّلَاةِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَجِبْ

Anas b. Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wits the best among people in character. On occasions, the time of prayer would come while he was in our house. He would then order to spread the mat lying under him. That was dusted and then water was sprinkled over it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then led the prayer and we stood behind him, and that mat was made of the leaves of date-palm. (Using translation from Muslim 659)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ خُلُقًا فَرُبَّمَا تَحْضُرُهُ الصَّلَاةُ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِنَا فَيَأْمُرُ بِالْبِسَاطِ الَّذِي تَحْتَهُ فَيُكْنَسُ ثُمَّ يُنْضَحُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَنَقُومُ خَلْفَهُ فَيُصَلِّي بِنَا قَالَ وَكَانَ بِسَاطُهُمْ مِنْ جَرِيدِ النَّخْلِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed with us in his house in Al-Maghrib while wearing a single garment. He then recited Surah Al-Mursalat. He continued to pray until he passed away in the year 4994. Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz and Abu Saeed ibn Abi Amr informed us, saying: Abu Abbas narrated to us, who was narrated by Abbas ibn Muhammad Al-Duri, who was narrated by Musa ibn Dawud. And he mentioned it.

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ الْمَغْرِبَ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ مُتَوَشِّحًا بِهِ قَرَأَ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ مَا صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا صَلَاةً حَتَّى قُبِضَ 4994 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالَا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ فَذَكَرَهُ

[Machine] Stand up, pray, and remember the discourse in his prayer with them.

قُومُوا فَصَلُّوا وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ بِهِمَا

[Machine] That Abu Sa'id, an Ansari client or slave, invited Abu Dhar, Hudhayfah, and Ibn Mas'ud. When the time for prayer approached, Abu Dhar stepped forward to lead them in prayer. Hudhayfah told him, "Wait, Abu Dhar." Abu Dhar asked, "Is that you, Ibn Mas'ud or Abu Abdur-Rahman?" He replied, "Yes," so Abu Dhar waited. Sulayman said, meaning that the man has more right to pray in his own home.

أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى الْأَنْصَارِ أَوْ مَمْلُوكًا دَعَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَحُذَيْفَةَ وَابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ تَقَدَّمَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ لِيُصَلِّيَ بِهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ تَأَخَّرْ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ أَكَذَاكَ يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أَوْ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَتَأَخَّرَ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ أَحَقُّ بِبَيْتِهِ

[Machine] He made food and invited Ibrahim An-Nakha'i, Ibrahim At-Taymi, Salamah bin Kuhail, and others from the Qur'an reciters. Then he ordered Ibrahim At-Taymi to recite to them. Then came the time for prayer, so they prayed in their homes as a congregation and did not go out to the mosque. Then he brought them the food.

أَنَّهُ صَنَعَ طَعَامًا فَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيَّ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيَّ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ كُهَيْلٍ وَذَرًّا وَأُنَاسًا مِنْ وُجُوهِ الْقُرَّاءِ فَأَمَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيَّ فَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَصَلُّوا فِي الْبُيُوتِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ وَلَمْ يَخْرُجُوا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُمْ بِالطَّعَامِ

Prophet said (to two persons), "Whenever the prayer time becomes due, you should pronounce Adhan and then Iqama and the older of you should lead the prayer." (Using translation from Bukhārī 658)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَأَذِّنَا ثُمَّ أَقِيمَا ثُمَّ لِيَؤُمَّكُمَا أَكْبَرُكُمَا

I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with a companion of mine, and when we intended to return from him, he said: When there is time for prayer, announce prayer, pronounce Iqama, and the oldest amongst you should lead the prayer. (Using translation from Muslim 674d)

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي فَلَمَّا أَرَدْنَا الْإِقْفَالَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ قَالَ لَنَا إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَأَذِّنَا ثُمَّ أَقِيمَا وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمَا أَكْبَرُكُمَا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the Fajr prayer and said, "Do you bear witness to so-and-so?" They said, "No." He said, "Do you bear witness to so-and-so?" They said, "No." He said, "Indeed, these two prayers, meaning the 'Isha and Fajr prayers, are the heaviest prayers on the hypocrites. If they knew their virtues, they would come to them even if they had to crawl. And the first row is like the row of angels, and if you knew its virtue, you would compete to be in it. And the prayer of a man with another man is purer than his prayer alone, and his prayer with two men is purer than his prayer with one man. And the more it increases, the more beloved it is to Allah." Like this.

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ فَقَالَ أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ إِنَّ هَاتَيْنِ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ يَعْنِي الْعِشَاءَ وَالصُّبْحَ مِنْ أَثْقَلِ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِيهِمَا لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا وَالصَّفُّ الْأَوَّلُ عَلَى مِثْلِ صَفِّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ فَضِيلَتَهُ لَابْتَدَرْتُمُوهُ وَصَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ أَزْكَى مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَحْدَهُ وَصَلَاتُهُ مَعَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ أَزْكَى مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ وَمَا كَثُرَ فَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ هَكَذَا

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a person praying alone. He said: Is there any man who may do good with this (man) and pray along with him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 574)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَبْصَرَ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي وَحْدَهُ فَقَالَ أَلَا رَجُلٌ يَتَصَدَّقُ عَلَى هَذَا فَيُصَلِّي مَعَهُ؟

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are two, and above them is a congregation."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اثْنَانِ فَمَا فَوْقَهُمَا جَمَاعَةٌ كَذَلِكَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A man has the right to the breast of his riding animal, and a man has the right to the breast of his bed." He said: "The two are a group, and the three are a group, and whatever is more is a group."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الرَّجُلُ أَحَقُّ بِصَدْرِ دَابَّتِهِ وَالرَّجُلُ أَحَقُّ بِصَدْرِ فِرَاشِهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الِاثْنَانِ جَمَاعَةٌ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ جَمَاعَةٌ وَمَا كَثُرَ فَهُوَ جَمَاعَةٌ

The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever performs ablution, and performs his ablution perfectly, and then goes to the mosque and finds that the people had finished the prayer (in congregation), Allah will give him a reward like one who prayed in congregation and attended it; The reward of those who prayed in congregation will not be curtailed. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 564)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ وُضُوءَهُ ثُمَّ رَاحَ فَوَجَدَ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَلُّوا أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ مِثْلَ أَجْرِ مَنْ صَلَّاهَا وَحَضَرَهَا لَا يَنْقُصُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِمْ شَيْئًا

Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab said: An Ansari was breathing his last. He said: I narrate to you a tradition, and I narrate it with the intention of getting a reward from Allah. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If any one of you performs ablution and performs it very well, and goes out for prayer, he does not take his right step but Allah records a good work (or blessing) for him, and he does not take his left step but Allah remits one sin from him. Any one of you may reside near the mosque or far from it; if he comes to the mosque and prays in congregation, he will be forgiven (by Allah). If he comes to the mosque while the people had prayed in part, and the prayer remained in part, and he prays in congregation the part he joined, and completed the part he had missed, he will enjoy similarly (i.e. he will be forgiven). If he comes to the mosque when the people had finished prayer, he will enjoy the same. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 563)

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ قَدَمَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ حَسَنَةً وَلَمْ يَضَعْ قَدَمَهُ الْيُسْرَى إِلَّا حَطَّ اللهُ عَنْهُ سَيِّئَةً فَلْيُقَرِّبْ أَوْ لِيُبَعِّدْ فَإِنْ أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى فِي جَمَاعَةٍ غُفِرَ لَهُ وَإِنْ أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ وَقَدْ صَلُّوا بَعْضًا وَبَقِيَ بَعْضٌ صَلَّى مَا أَدْرَكَ وَأَتَمَّ مَا بَقِيَ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ فَإِنْ أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ وَقَدْ صَلُّوا فَأَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ

[Machine] A man entered the mosque and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had already prayed. He said, "Isn't there a man who would give charity on behalf of this person and pray with him?"

دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ الْمَسْجِدَ وَقَدْ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَلَا رَجُلٌ يَتَصَدَّقُ عَلَى هَذَا فَيُصَلِّيَ مَعَهُ؟

[Machine] A man came and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had just prayed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who will trade on this?" So a man stood up and prayed with him 5014 (units of prayer). And Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad informed us, Abu al-Husayn al-Fasawi narrated to us, Abu Ali al-Lu'lu'i narrated to us, Abu Dawud al-Sijistani narrated to us, Muhammad ibn al-Ala’a informed us, Hushaym narrated from al-Khasib ibn Zaid, from al-Hasan regarding this information. So Abu Bakr stood up and prayed with him, and he had prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ وَقَدْ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ يَتَّجِرُ عَلَى هَذَا؟ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَصَلَّى مَعَهُ 5014 وَأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ أنبأ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ الْفَسَوِيُّ ثنا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ اللُّؤْلُؤِيُّ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ السِّجِسْتَانِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ أنبأ هُشَيْمٌ عَنِ الْخَصِيبِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ فِي هَذَا الْخَبَرِ فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَصَلَّى مَعَهُ وَقَدْ كَانَ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

[Machine] "Did you guys pray?" We said, "Yes." So he commanded some of his young men to give the call to prayer (adhan) and to establish the prayer. Then he stepped forward and prayed with them.

أَصَلَّيْتُمْ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَأَمَرَ بَعْضَ فِتْيَانِهِ فَأَذَّنَ وَأَقَامَ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ

[Machine] The dislike of Sheikh Karahiya for Al-Hasan Al-Basri is related to a matter in which the congregation is in after the word is said, and Allah knows best.

الشَّيْخُ كَرَاهِيَةُ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ مَحْمُولَةٌ عَلَى مَوْضِعٍ يَكُونُ الْجَمَاعَةُ فِيهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ صُلِّيَ تَفَرُّقُ الْكَلِمَةِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command the Mu'adhin when it was a cold and rainy night, saying, "Do not say the adhan in the masjid, but say it in the tents." This is mentioned in the hadith of Yahya, and in the hadith of Shafi'i, it is narrated from Ibn Umar that he said, "He (the Prophet) gave the adhan and the rest is the same."

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ بَارِدَةٌ ذَاتُ مَطَرٍ يَقُولُ أَلَا صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى وَفِي حَدِيثِ الشَّافِعِيِّ قَالَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ إِنَّهُ أُذِّنَ وَالْبَاقِي سَوَاءٌ

[Machine] In his final address, he said, "Pray in your tents, pray in the tents. For the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to instruct the Muadhin, when it was a cold, rainy, or windy night on a journey, saying, 'Pray in the tents.' It is narrated in the Sahih from the Hadith of Ubaidullah."

فِي آخِرِ نِدَائِهِ أَلَا صَلُّوا فِي رِحَالِكُمْ أَلَا صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ بَارِدَةٌ أَوْ ذَاتُ مَطَرٍ أَوْ ذَاتُ رِيحٍ فِي سَفَرٍ يَقُولُ أَلَا صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ

[Machine] "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would instruct the Mu'adhin that when it is a cold night or rainy while traveling, to pray in their tents."

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ بَارِدَةٌ أَوْ ذَاتُ مَطَرٍ فِي السَّفَرِ أَلَا صَلُّوا فِي رِحَالِكُمْ

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on a journey on a night of darkness and wind, or darkness and cold, or darkness and rain. Then a caller proclaimed: 'Pray in your tents! 5021.' Abu Ali Al-Roudhbari reported to us, who narrated from Abu Bakr ibn Dasa, who narrated from Abu Dawood, who narrated from Al-Nufayli, who narrated from Muhammad ibn Salamah, who narrated from Muhammad Ibn Ishaq, who narrated from Nafi, who narrated from Ibn Umar that the caller of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made that call in Al-Madina on a rainy night and a comforting morning."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ فِي لَيْلَةٍ ذَاتِ ظُلْمَةٍ وَرِيحٍ أَوْ ظُلْمَةٍ وَبَرْدٍ أَوْ ظُلْمَةٍ وَمَطَرٍ فَنَادَى مُنَادِيهُ أَنْ صَلُّوا فِي رِحَالِكُمْ 5021 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا النُّفَيْلِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ نَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِذَلِكَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْمَطِيرَةِ وَالْغَدَاةِ الْقَرَّةِ

We set cut with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey when it began to rain. Upon this he said: He who desires may pray in his dwelling. (Using translation from Muslim 698)

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَمُطِرْنَا فَقَالَ لِيُصَلِّ مَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ فِي رَحْلِهِ

[Machine] We were struck by rain on the day of Hudaybiyah that did not wet the soles of our shoes. Then the caller of the Prophet ﷺ called out to us to pray in our camel saddles.

أَصَابَنَا يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ مَطَرٌ لَمْ تُبَلَّ أَسَافِلُ نِعَالِنَا فَنَادَى يَعْنِي مُنَادِيَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنْ صَلُّوا فِي رِحَالِكُمْ

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a sudden rain shower came upon us. At that moment, the caller of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called out, saying, "Whoever wants to pray on their ride should do so."

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَصَابَنَا بُغَيْشٌ مِنْ مَطَرٍ فَنَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِي سَفَرٍ مَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فِي رَحْلِهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ

ʿItban bin Malik used to lead his people (tribe) in prayer and was a blind man, he said to Allah's Apostle , "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! At times it is dark and flood water is flowing (in the valley) and I am blind man, so please pray at a place in my house so that I can take it as a Musalla (praying place)." So Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to his house and said, "Where do you like me to pray?" 'Itban pointed to a place in his house and Messenger of Allah ﷺ, offered the prayer there. (Using translation from Bukhārī 667)

وَأَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا تَكُونُ الظُّلْمَةُ وَالسَّيْلُ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ فَصَلِّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فِي بَيْتِي مَكَانًا أَتَّخِذْهُ مُصَلًّى فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ أَيْنَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ؟ فَأَشَارَ إِلَى مَكَانٍ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "None of you should pray while in the presence of food, nor while defending the two impurities of urine and feces." Ibn Abi Maryam said, "Ad-Darawardi narrated to me from Muhammad ibn Abi Atiq, from his father, from Aisha, with a similar narration."

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا يُصَلِّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِحَضْرَةِ الطَّعَامِ وَلَا وَهُوَ يُدَافِعُ الْأَخْبَثَيْنِ الْغَائِطَ وَالْبَوْلَ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ وَحَدَّثَنِي الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ مِثْلَهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "None of you should pray while he is in the presence of food, nor while he is warding off the two impurities."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يُصَلِّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ بِحَضْرَةِ الطَّعَامِ وَلَا وَهُوَ يُدَافِعُ الْأَخْبَثَيْنِ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "When one of you finds defecation, let him start with it before the prayer." This is the narration of Imam Al-Shafi'i and in the narration of Al-Alawi, he said about the Prophet ﷺ , "When the prayer approaches and a man wants to go to the toilet, let him start with relieving himself."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِهِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَفِي حَدِيثِ الْعَلَوِيِّ قَالَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَأَرَادَ الرَّجُلُ الْخَلَاءَ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِالْخَلَاءِ

[Machine] He went out as a hajj or an umrah and the people were with him, and he led them. Then, on one day, he performed the Fajr prayer and said, "Let one of you come forward and go to the bathroom, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'When one of you wants to go to the bathroom and the prayer is about to start, they should start with going to the bathroom.' And likewise..."

أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ حَاجًّا أَوْ مُعْتَمِرًا وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ وَهُوَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَتَقَدَّمْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَذَهَبَ الْخَلَاءَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ الْخَلَاءَ وَقَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِالْخَلَاءِ وَكَذَلِكَ

[Machine] "Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ that he said, 'None of you should offer prayer while he is experiencing anything of impurity.' A group of people reported this from Shu'bah, and it was narrated by Adam bin Abi Iyas from Shu'bah, who stood up and reported it."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا يُصَلِّي أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ يَجِدُ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْخَبَثِ أَسْنَدَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ وَرَوَاهُ آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ فَوَقَفَهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When the prayer and dinner time come together, start with dinner."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالْعَشَاءُ فَابْدَءُوا بِالْعَشَاءِ
