Hadith text

Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The prayer offered in congregation is twenty five times more superior (in reward) to the prayer offered alone in one's house or in a business center, because if one performs ablution and does it perfectly, and then proceeds to the mosque with the sole intention of praying, then for each step which he takes towards the mosque, Allah upgrades him a degree in reward and (forgives) crosses out one sin till he enters the mosque. When he enters the mosque he is considered in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer and the angels keep on asking for Allah's forgiveness for him and they keep on saying: 'O Allah! Be Merciful to him, O Allah! Forgive him, as long as he keeps on sitting at his praying place and does not pass wind. (See Hadith No)

Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) se riwayat hai ke Nabi ne farmaya: "Jamaat ki namaz akele padhi namaz se (chahe ghar mein ho ya bazaar mein) pachees guna behtar hai, kyunke jab koi mukammal wudu karta hai aur sirf namaz ki niyyat se masjid ki taraf nikalta hai, to har qadam par Allah uska darja badhata hai aur ek gunah mitaata hai, jab tak woh masjid mein daakhil na ho jaaye. Jab masjid mein daakhil ho jaata hai, woh namaz mein hi shumar hota hai jab tak namaz ka intezar kare, aur farishte uske liye Allah se maafi maangte rehte hain: 'Aye Allah! Ispar reham kar. Aye Allah! Ise maaf kar,' jab tak woh apni jagah baitha rahe aur hadath (wudu tootne wali cheez) na ho."
