The Enduring Righteous Deeds:

00:00:08.730 --> 00:00:12.300
The Reward for Congregational Prayer

00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:15.140
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:19.179
from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said:

00:00:19.179 --> 00:00:21.780
"A man's prayer offered in congregation

00:00:21.780 --> 00:00:27.980
is multiplied twenty-five times over his prayer offered in his house or in his market.

00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:36.649
That is because when he performs ablution and does so thoroughly, then leaves for the mosque solely to perform the prayer,

00:00:36.649 --> 00:00:43.850
he does not take a single step except that he is raised a degree in rank thereby, and a sin is removed from him because of it.

00:00:43.850 --> 00:00:50.850
Then, once he prays, the angels continue to supplicate for him as long as he remains in his place of prayer, saying:

00:00:50.850 --> 00:00:54.850
'O Allah, send blessings upon him; O Allah, have mercy upon him.'

00:00:54.850 --> 00:00:59.939
And one of you remains in a state of prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer."

00:00:59.939 --> 00:01:02.140
