English translation

558. Abū Umāmah reported that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever leaves his house to go to an obligatory prayer after having purified himself, his reward will be like the reward of one who performs Hajj in the state of Iḥrām. And whoever leaves to perform the voluntary Duḥā prayer — nothing causes him to exert himself except it — then his reward is like one performing Umrah. And one prayer after another prayer, in which there is no vain talk between the two, is written in the ‘Illiyyīn." (Ḥasan)

Arabic text

558 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ 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»

Commentary

Performing voluntary prayer at home is superior and preferred, while it is also allowed to do so in the Masjid. ‘Illiyyīn’ is where the names and virtuous deeds of the pious are recorded. See also the Tafsīr of Ibn Kathīr; Al-Muṭaṭṭifīn 83:18.
