648. Narrated Abū Salama bin 'Abdur Raḥmān : Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه said, "I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, "The reward of a Ṣalāt (prayer) in congregation is twenty-five times superior in degrees than that of a Ṣalāt offered by a person alone. The angels of the night and the angels of the day gather at the time of Fajr prayer." Abū Hurairah then added, "Recite (the Qur'ān) if you wish, "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).

648 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ المُسَيِّبِ، وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «تَفْضُلُ صَلاَةُ الجَمِيعِ صَلاَةَ أَحَدِكُمْ وَحْدَهُ، بِخَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ جُزْءًا، وَتَجْتَمِعُ مَلاَئِكَةُ اللَّيْلِ وَمَلاَئِكَةُ النَّهَارِ فِي صَلاَةِ الفَجْرِ» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: فَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ: {إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا} [الإسراء: 78]
