عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْبَصِيرِ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ:
صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْفَجْرَ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ: أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، وَلَمْ يَحْضُرْ، قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ أَثْقَلَ الصَّلَوَاتِ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ صَلَاةُ الْعِشَاءِ وَالْفَجْرِ، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِيهِمَا، أَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا، وَإِنَّ الصَّفَّ الْأَوَّلَ عَلَى مِثْلِ صَفِّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ، وَلَوْ عَلِمْتُمْ مَا فَضِيلَتُهُ ابْتَدَرْتُمُوهُ، وَصَلَاتُكَ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ أَزْكَى مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ وَحْدَكَ، وَصَلَاتُكَ مَعَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ أَزْكَى مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ، وَمَا أَكْثَرَ فَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ
Translation
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the dawn prayer, and when he said the salam he said: 'Is so-and-so present?' They said: 'Yes, but he did not attend.' He said it three times. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The heaviest prayers for the hypocrites are the 'Isha' prayer and the Fajr prayer. If they knew what is in them, they would come to them even if they had to crawl. The first row is like the row of the angels. If you knew its virtue, you would race to it. Your prayer with a man is purer than your prayer alone, and your prayer with two men is purer than your prayer with one man, and the more there are, the more beloved it is to Allah.'
