English translation

559. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The prayer of a man in congregation is twenty-five levels (more blessed) than the prayer that he prays in his house or in his shop. This is due to the fact that one of you, when he performs Wudū’ and does it well, and comes to the Masjid only desiring the prayer, nothing drives him — meaning, except the prayer — then he does not take a step except that he is raised one level, and one sin is removed from him, until he enters the Masjid. Then, when he enters the Masjid, he will (be counted as) being in the prayer, as long as it is the prayer which detains him. And the angels pray upon one of you as long as he remains in the place that he prayed it; they say: 'O Allāh! Forgive him. O Allāh! Have mercy on him. O Allāh! Accept his repentance,' as long as he does not harm (anyone) in it, or commit Hadath."[1] (Saḥīh)

559 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ تَزِيدُ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَصَلَاتِهِ فِي سُوقِهِ خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً، وَذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ وَأَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ لَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةَ، وَلَا يَنْهَزُهُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةُ لَمْ يَخْطُ خُطْوَةً إِلَّا رُفِعَ لَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةٌ وَحُطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةٌ، حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ كَانَ فِي صَلَاةٍ، مَا كَانَتِ الصَّلَاةُ هِيَ تَحْبِسُهُ، وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ مَا دَامَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ الَّذِي صَلَّى فِيهِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ اللَّهُمَّ تُبْ عَلَيْهِ، مَا لَمْ يُؤْذِ فِيهِ أَوْ يُحْدِثْ فِيهِ "
