563. Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab said: "A person from the Anṣār was on his death bed, so he said: 'I am going to narrate to you a Hadīth; I only narrate it to you seeking reward (for it). I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "If one of you performs Wudū' and performs it well, and leaves to go to the prayer, then he does not raise his right foot except that Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, writes for him one Hasanah,[1] and he does not raise his left foot except that Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, will obliterate from him one sin. So let one of you come closer (to the Masjid) or go farther. Then, when he comes to the Masjid and prays in the congregation, he will be forgiven. And if he comes to the Masjid, and they have prayed a portion (of the prayer), and a portion is left, let him pray what he catches, and then complete the rest, it will also be the same (he too will be forgiven). And if he comes to the Masjid and they have already prayed, and he prays (by himself), it will also be the same (he too will be forgiven).” (Hasan)
