Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The congregational prayer of anyone amongst you is more than twenty (five
or twenty seven) times in reward than his prayer in the market or in his house, for if he performs
ablution completely and then goes to the mosque with the sole intention of performing the prayer,
and nothing urges him to proceed to the mosque except the prayer, then, on every step which he
takes towards the mosque, he will be raised one degree or one of his sins will be forgiven. The angels
will keep on asking Allah’s forgiveness and blessings for everyone of you so long as he keeps sitting
at his praying place. The angels will say, ‘O Allah, bless him! O Allah, be merciful to him!’ as long as

Volume 3, Book 34, Number 263:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
You people say that Abu Huraira tells many narrations from Allah’s Apostle and you also wonder
why the emigrants and Ansar do not narrate from Allah’s Apostle as Abu Huraira does. My emigrant
brothers were busy in the market while I used to stick to Allah’s Apostle content with what fills my
stomach; so I used to be present when they were absent and I used to remember when they used to
forget, and my Ansari brothers used to be busy with their properties and I was one of the poor men
of Suffa. I used to remember the narrations when they used to forget. No doubt, Allah’s Apostle once
said, “Whoever spreads his garment till I have finished my present speech and then gathers it to him –
self, will remember whatever I will say.” So, I spread my colored garment which I was wearing till
Allah’s Apostle had finished his saying, and then I gathered it to my chest. So, I did not forget any of
that narrations.
