Narrated Abu Salama bin ‘Abdur Rahman:
Abu Huraira said, “I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, ‘The reward of a prayer in congregation is
twenty five times greater than that of a prayer offered by a person alone. The angels of the night and
the angels of the day gather at the time of Fajr prayer.’ ” Abu Huraira then added, “Recite the Holy
Book if you wish, for “Indeed, the recitation of the Qur’an in the early dawn (Fajr prayer) is ever wit –
nessed.” (17.18).
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar: The reward of the congregational prayer is twenty seven times
greater (than that of the prayer offered by a person alone).
