798. It was narrated from 'Umar bin Khattâb that the Prophet ﷺ used to say: "Whoever performs prayer in congregation at the mosque for forty nights, never missing the first Ra'kah of the 'Ishâ' prayer, Allâh will thereby decree for him salvation from the Fire." (Da'if)
798 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ صَلَّى فِي مَسْجِدٍ جَمَاعَةً أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، لَا تَفُوتُهُ الرَّكْعَةُ الْأُولَى مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ، كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا عِتْقًا مِنَ النَّارِ»

'Forty nights' means (prayers performed for) a continuous period of forty days and nights. Performing the prayers in congregation for forty days on end by a person, will have the effect of making him used to it, and enables him to continue with it on a regular basis which, in turn, would earn him Allâh's pleasure and salvation from Fire.
