Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1834 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led the dawn (Fajr)
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الزَّرَدِ الْأُبُلِّيُّ قَالَ : نَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ وَاصِلٍ قَالَ : نَا وُهَيْبُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ : صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ ، فَقَالَ : I " أَشَهِدَ فُلَانٌ ؟ قَالُوا : لَا . قَالَ : I " أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ ؟ I " قَالُوا : لَا . فَقَالَ : I " إِنَّ هَاتَيْنِ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ أَثْقَلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ ، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِيهِمَا لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا ، وَالصَّفُّ الْمُقَدَّمُ عَلَى مِثْلِ صَفِّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ ، وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ فَضِيلَتَهُ لَابْتَدَرْتُمُوهُ ، وَصَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ أَزْكَى مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَحْدَهُ ، وَصَلَاتُهُ مَعَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ أَزْكَى مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ ، وَكُلَّمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرَ فَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ إِلَّا وُهَيْبٌ ، وَلَا عَنْ وُهَيْبٍ إِلَّا سَعِيدٌ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the dawn (Fajr) prayer, then asked: "Has so-and-so attended?" The people said: "No." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked again: "Is so-and-so present?" They said: "No." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, these two prayers are the heaviest of all prayers upon the hypocrites; and if they knew what (reward) lies in them, they would surely come to them even if they had to come crawling on their buttocks. The first row is like the row of the angels, and if you knew its virtue, you would surely race one another to it. A man's prayer together with another man is purer than his prayer alone, and his prayer together with two men is purer than his prayer with one man; and the larger the gathering, the more beloved it is to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ayyub (may Allah have mercy on him) except Wuhayb (may Allah have mercy on him), and none from Wuhayb (may Allah have mercy on him) except Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him), while Muhammad bin Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in transmitting it."
