(فَضْلُ الصَّلَاةِ بِالجَمَاعَةِ)
(Virtue of prayer in congregation)
Hadith 1052
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «صَلَاةُ الْجَمَاعَةِ تَفْضُلُ صَلَاة الْفَذ بِسبع وَعشْرين دَرَجَة»
Ibn ‘Umar reported God’s Messenger as saying, “Prayer said in a congregation is twenty-seven degrees more excellent than prayer said by a single person.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)
