Hannad narrated to us: Abdah narrated to us, from Ubayd Allah ibn Umar, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Prayer in congregation is twenty-seven degrees superior to a man’s prayer alone.’
Reports on this subject are also related from Abd Allah ibn Masud, Ubayy ibn Kab, Muadh ibn Jabal, Abu Sa‘id, Abu Hurayrah, and Anas ibn Malik. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Ibn Umar is hasan sahih. Nafi likewise narrated from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet, that he said: ‘Prayer in congregation is twenty-seven degrees superior to a man’s prayer alone.’ Abu Isa said: Most of those who narrated from the Prophet reported twenty-five, whereas Ibn Umar alone reported twenty-seven.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The compiler explicitly notes the numerical difference between the majority version (twenty-five) and Ibn Umar's version (twenty-seven).
قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَعَامَّةُ مَنْ رَوَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّمَا قَالُوا " خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ " .
The compiler distinguishes the majority figure of twenty-five from Ibn Umar's report of twenty-seven.
Is this numerical variant clearly attributed to the respective reports?
