حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ فَضْلُ الْجَمَاعَةِ عَلَى صَلاَةِ أَحَدِكُمْ وَحْدَهُ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ جُزْءًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Abu Marwan Muhammad ibn 'Uthman al-'Uthmani narrated to us: Ibrahim ibn Sa'd narrated to us, from Ibn Shihab, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘The merit of congregational prayer over one of you praying alone is twenty-five portions.’

Notes and open questions — unreviewed

  • The Arabic uses ‘portions/parts’ (أجزاء), not degrees, and specifies twenty-five.
