حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «صَلَاةُ الْجَمَاعَةِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ أَحَدِكُمْ وَحْدَهُ بِخَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ جُزْءًا»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Prayer said in a congregation is twenty-five degrees more excellent than prayer said by a single person.

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনুল সাব্বাহ (রহঃ) ..... আ'মাশ (রহঃ) হতে এ সূত্রে অবিকল বর্ণিত আছে; তবে পাত্রের বস্তু ফেলার কথাটি উল্লেখ করেননি।

اسماعیل بن زکریا نے اعمش کےحوالے سے ، باقی ماندہ مذکورہ سند کے ساتھ ، یہی روایت بیان کی لیکن ’’اسے بہادے ‘ ‘ کے الفاظ نہیں کہے ۔

Bana Muhammed b. Sabbah'ta rivayet etti. Dedi ki: Bize İsmail b. Zekeriyya A'meş'den bu isnadla bu hadisin mislini rivayet etti. Ama «onu döksün» demedi

What it means

This Hadīth shows the virtue of praying in congregation over praying alone, because praying in congregation - due to what it contains of great, immense benefit - is more virtuous and increases the reward by twenty-seven times more than praying alone. This is due to the great gap between the two in terms of achieving the target. Without a doubt, whoever misses out on this great profit is deprived.
