4717. Narrated Ibn Al-Mūsaiyab: Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ said, “The Prophet said, ‘A Ṣalāt (prayer) performed in congregation is twenty-five times more superior in reward to a Ṣalāt performed by a single person. The angels of the night and the angels of the day are assembled at the time of the morning Ṣalāt (prayer).’ ” Abū Hurairah added, “If you wish, you can recite: ‘Verily, the recitation of the Qur’ān in the early dawn (i.e. the morning — Fajr prayer) is ever witnessed (attended by the angels in charge of mankind of the day and the night).’ ” (V.17:78)
