Sahih al-Bukhari 647

Hadith text

Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The reward of the prayer offered by a person in congregation is twenty five times greater than that of the prayer offered in one's house or in the market (alone). And this is because if he performs ablution and does it perfectly and then proceeds to the mosque with the sole intention of praying, then for every step he takes towards the mosque, he is upgraded one degree in reward and his one sin is taken off (crossed out) from his accounts (of deeds). When he offers his prayer, the angels keep on asking Allah's Blessings and Allah's forgiveness for him as long as he is (staying) at his Musalla. They say, 'O Allah! Bestow Your blessings upon him, be Merciful and kind to him.' And one is regarded in prayer as long as one is waiting for the prayer

Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) se riwayat hai ke Allah ke Rasool ne farmaya: "Jamaat mein padhi namaz ka sawaab akele (ghar mein ya bazaar mein) padhi namaz se pachees guna zyada hai. Isliye ke agar koi mukammal wudu kare aur sirf namaz ki niyyat se masjid jaaye, to har qadam par uska darja badhta hai aur ek gunah mit jaata hai. Namaz padhte huye, farishte Allah se uske liye rehmat aur maafi maangte rehte hain jab tak woh apni Musalla par ho. Woh kehte hain: 'Aye Allah! Ispar apni rehmatein utaar, ispar reham kar.' Aur namaz ka intezar karne wala bhi namaz mein hi shumar hota hai."
