English translation
647. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "The reward of the Ṣalāt (prayer) offered by a person in congregation is multiplied twenty-five times as much than that of the Ṣalāt 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 offering Ṣalāt, 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 Ṣalāt, the angels keep on asking Allāh's Blessings and Allāh's Forgiveness for him as long as he is (staying) at his Muṣalla. They say, 'O Allāh! Bestow Your Blessings upon him, be Merciful and kind to him.' And one is regarded in Ṣalāt as long as one is waiting for the Ṣalāt."
