PRAYER IS MORE VALUABLE IN THE MOSQUE
|H 1081
“The prayer of a person offered with the congregation is twenty five
times more (valuable) than his prayer at home or in the market. This
is because when he performs his ablution diligently and then
proceeds to the mosque for the sole purpose of the prayer, every
step that he takes raises his rank and wipes out a sin. While he is
engaged in prayer, angels continue to supplicate for mercy upon
him, and this continues so long as he remains in his place of prayer
10
with ablution. The angels supplicate saying, 'O Allah, send down
blessings on him; O Allah, have mercy on him.' He is considered to
be in a state of prayer while he waits for the congregational prayer.‟"
