Praying the Congregation Prayer at the Masjid

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ “‏ مَنْ غَدَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَرَاحَ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُ نُزُلَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ كُلَّمَا غَدَا أَوْ رَاحَ ‏.”‏‏

The Messenger (peace be upon him) said, “Allah will prepare for him who goes to the Masjid in the morning and in the afternoon (for the congregation prayer) an honorable place in Paradise with good hospitality.”

[Agreed Upon]

Commentary:

From the benefits of this hadith:

  1. The virtue of travelling to the Masjid.
  2. The virtue of constantly praying in congregation.
  3. The actions of people are gathered with Allah.

It shows the great bounty of Allah upon His slaves whereby he gives such a great reward for such a small act.

And Allah Knows Best!
