حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ الأَشْعَرِيُّ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ النَّاسِ أَجْرًا فِي الصَّلاَةِ أَبْعَدُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا مَمْشًى فَأَبْعَدُهُمْ وَالَّذِي يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلاَةَ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا مَعَ الإِمَامِ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا مِنَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّيهَا ثُمَّ يَنَامُ " . وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي كُرَيْبٍ " حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا مَعَ الإِمَامِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ " .
Abdullah ibn Barrad al-Ash‘ari and Abu Kurayb reported to us; they said: Abu Usamah reported to us, from Burayd, from Abu Burdah, from Abu Musa, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The greatest reward in prayer belongs to those who walk the farthest to reach it. One who waits for the prayer until praying it with the imam has a greater reward than one who prays it and then sleeps.’ Abu Kurayb’s narration says: ‘until he prays it with the imam in congregation.’
