📖 1 min readعن عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: «صلاةُ الجَمَاعَة أَفضَلُ من صَلاَة الفَذِّ بِسَبعٍ وعِشرِين دَرَجَة».
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.
