Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiTHE CONGREGATION AND ITS EXCELLENCE
Hadrat Abdullah Abu Umar (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) as saying, “performing Salaah in a congregation is twenty seven degrees more excellent than Salaah said by a single person.” [Bukhari, Muslim]
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: It is better to perform Salaah with another man than to perform alone. It is better still with two other men. As much large the congregation is, as much it is pleasing to ALLAAH. [Abu Dawud]
The Prophet said: perform the nafi Salaah as long as you are cheerful and sit down when you feel exhausted. [Mishkat]
