[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The prayer of a man who leads another is better in the sight of Allah than the prayer of four individuals who pray separately. And the prayer of four individuals led by one is better in the sight of Allah than the prayer of eight individuals who pray separately. And the prayer of eight individuals led by one is better in the sight of Allah than the prayer of one hundred individuals who pray separately. This is a narration from Al-Walid bin Muslim, and Isa bin Yunus narrated in his narration from Thawr, from Yunus, from Abdul Rahman bin Ziyad, from Qabath, and likewise.
