856. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever performs Wuḍū' and does it well, then sets out for the Masjid and finds that the people have already prayed, Allāh will decree for him a reward like that of those who attended (the prayer), without reducing the slightest from their reward." (Hasan)
855 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ طَحْلَاءَ، عَنْ مُحْصِنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْفِهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عَامِدًا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَجَدَ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَلَّوْا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِثْلَ أَجْرِ مَنْ حَضَرَهَا وَلَا يَنْقُصُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا»

The intention of this person was obviously to catch the congregation. Moreover, he did not do anything wrong. Instead, he strove hard but was still not able to catch the congregation, and so afterward he felt regret. Hence, he will be rewarded the merit of praying in congregation in proportion to his intention, provided he is accustomed to praying in congregation. And that is from the bounty of Allāh.
