Hadith 189
The Book of Virtues
Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The person who will receive the highest reward for Salat (prayer) is the one who comes to perform it in the mosque from the farthest distance. And he who waits for Salat to perform it with the Imam (in congregation) will have a greater reward than the one who observes it alone and then goes to sleep." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:
إن أعظم الناس أجرًا في الصلاة أبعدهم إليها ممشى، فأبعدهم، والذي ينتظر الصلاة حتى يصليها مع الإمام أعظم أجرًا من الذي يصليها ثم ينام
