"One day the Messenger of Allah (saw) prayed Fajr, then he said: 'Did so-and-so attend the prayer?' They said: 'No.' He said: '(What about) so-and-so?' They said: 'No.' He said: 'These two prayers are the most burdensome for the hypocrites. If they knew what (virtue) is in them, they would come, even if they had to crawl. And the virtue of the first row is like that of the row of the angels. If you knew its virtue, you would compete for it. A man's prayer with another man is greater in reward than his prayer alone. And a man's prayer with two other men is greater in reward than his rayer with one other man; the more people there are, the more beloved that is to Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.'" (Hasan)

that he said: "O Messenger of Allah, the floods keep me from coming to the Masjid of my people. I would like you to come and pray in a place in my house so that I can take it as a Masjid." The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "We shall do that." "When the Messenger of Allah (saw) entered he said: 'Where do you want (me to pray).' I showed him a corner of the house, and the Messenger of Allah (saw) stood there, and we formed rows behind him, and he led us in praying two Rakahs." (Sahih)

"When the Messenger of Allah (saw) became seriously ill, Bilal came to tell him it was time to pray and he said: 'Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.'" She said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr is a tender-hearted man, and when he stands in your place he will not be able to make the people hear his voice; why don't you tell Umar (to do it)?' He said: 'Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.' I said to Hafsah: 'Tell him.' So she told him. He said: 'You are (like) the female companions of Yusuf. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.'" She said: "So they told Abu Bakr. When he started to pray, the Messenger of Allah (saw) began to feel better, so he got up and came with the help of two men, with his feet dragging along the ground. (When) he entered the Masjid, Abu Bakr heard him coming and he wanted to step back, but the Messenger of Allah (saw) gestured to him: 'Stay where you are.' Then the Messenger of Allah (saw) came and sat on Abu Bakr's left, so the Messenger of Allah (saw) was leading the people in prayer sitting, and Abu Bakr was standing and following the Messenger of Allah (saw), and the people were following the prayer of Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him." (Sahih)

"I entered upon Aishah and said: 'Will you not tell me about the sickness of the Messenger of Allah (saw)?' She said: 'When the Messenger of Allah (saw) became seriously ill, he said: "Have the people prayed?" We said: "No, they are waiting for you, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Put some water in a tub for me." We did that and he performed Ghusl, then he tried to get up but he fainted. Then he came to us and said: "Have the people prayed?" We said: "No, they are waiting for you, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Put some water in a tub for me." We did that and he performed Ghusl, then he tried to get up but he fainted. Then for the third time he said the same thing. She said: The people were in the Masjid, waiting for the Messenger of Allah (saw) to lead the Isha prayer. The Messenger of Allah (saw) sent word to Abu Bakr, telling him to lead the people in prayer, so the messenger came to him and said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) is telling you to lead the people in prayer." Abu Bakr was a tender-hearted man, so he said: "O Umar, lead the people in prayer." But (Umar) said: "You have more right to that." So Abu Bakr led them in prayer during those days. When the Messenger of Allah (saw) felt a little better, he came with the help of two men, one of whom was Al-Abbas, to pray Zuhr. When Abu Bakr saw him, he wanted to step back, but the Messenger of Allah (saw) gestured to him not to step back. He told them (the two men) to seat him beside him, and Abu Bakr started to pray standing, and the people were following the prayer of Abu Bakr, and the Messenger of Allah (saw) was praying sitting.'" "I (Ubaidullah) entered upon Ibn Abbas and said: 'Shall I not tell you what Aishah narrated to me about the sickness of the Messenger of Allah (saw)?' He said: 'Yes.' So I told him and he did not deny any of it, but he said: 'Did she tell you the name of the man who was with Al-Abbas?' I said: 'No.' He said: 'That was Ali, may Allah honor his face.'" (Sahih)

"I heard Jabir bin Abdullah say: 'Muadh used to pray with the Prophet (saw), then he would go back to his people to lead them in prayer. He stayed late one night and prayed with the Prophet (saw), then he went back to his people to lead them in prayer, and he recited Surat Al-Baqarah. When a man from his people heard that, he stepped aside and prayed (on his own), then he left. They said: 'You have become a hypocrite, O so-and-so!' He said: 'By Allah, I have not become a hypocrite, and I will go to the Prophet (saw) and tell him (about that).' So he went to the Prophet (saw) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, Muadh prays with you, then he comes to lead us in prayer. You delayed the prayer, and he prayed with you then he came back to lead us in prayer, and he started to recite Surat Al-Baqarah. When I heard that, I stepped aside and prayed by myself, because we are people who bring water with the camels and we work hard.' The prophet (saw) said to him: 'O Muadh, do you want to cause hardship to the people? Recite such and such a Surah, and such and such a Surah.'" (Sahih)

that his father said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah (saw) when some of the people said: 'Why do you not stop with us to rest a while, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'I am afraid that you will sleep and miss the prayer.' Bilal said: 'I will wake you up.' So they lay down and slept, and Bilal leaned back on his mount. Then the Messenger of Allah (saw) woke up when the sun had already started to rise, and he said: 'O Bilal, what about what you told us?' He said: 'I have never slept like that before.' The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, takes your souls when He wills and sends them back when He wills. Stand up O Bilal and call the people to prayer.' Then Bilal stood up and called the Adhan, and they performed Wudhu'" - that is, when the sun had risen (fully) - "then he stood and lead them in prayer." (Sahih)

"Abu Ad-Darda said to me: 'Where do you live?' I said: 'In a town near Hims.' Abu Ad-Darda said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: "There are no three people in a town or encampment among whom prayer is not established, but the Shaitan takes control of them. Therefore, stick to the congregation, for the wolf eats the sheep that strays off on its own." (One of the narrators (As-Saib)) said: "The congregation means the congregational prayer." (Sahih)
