حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ، عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ

قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا الصُّبْحَ فَقَالَ: «أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ». قَالُوا لَا. قَالَ: «أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ».

قَالُوا لَا. قَالَ: «إِنَّ هَاتَيْنِ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ أَثْقَلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِيهِمَا لأَتَيْتُمُوهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا عَلَى الرُّكَبِ وَإِنَّ الصَّفَّ الأَوَّلَ عَلَى مِثْلِ صَفِّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَلَوْ عَلِمْتُمْ مَا فَضِيلَتُهُ لَابْتَدَرْتُمُوهُ وَإِنَّ صَلَاةَ الرَّجُلِ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ أَزْكَى مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَحْدَهُ وَصَلَاتُهُ مَعَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ أَزْكَى مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ وَمَا كَثُرَ فَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) led us in the dawn prayer one day. And he said: Is so and so present? They said: No. He (again) asked: Is so and so present?

They replied: No. He then said: These two prayers are the ones which are most burdensome to hypocrites. If you knew what they contain (i.e. blessings), you would come to them, even though you had to crawl on your knees. The first row is like that of the angels, and if you knew the nature of its excellence, you would race to join it.

A man’s prayer said along with another is purer than his prayer said alone, and his prayer with two men is purer than his prayer with one, but if there are more it is more pleasing to Allah, the Almighty, the Majestic.

উবাই ইবনু কা’ব (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, একদিন রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আমাদের সাথে ফজরের সালাত আদায় করার পর বললেনঃ অমুক হাযির আছেন কি?

সাহাবীগণ বললেনঃ না। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ এ দুই ওয়াক্ত (ফজর ও ‘ইশা) সালাতই মুনাফিকদের জন্য বেশি ভারী হয়ে থাকে। তোমরা যদি এই দুই ওয়াক্ত সালাতে কি পরিমাণ সাওয়াব রয়েছে তা জানতে, তাহলে হামাগুড়ি দিয়ে হলেও তোমরা অবশ্যই এতে শামিল হতে। জামা‘আতের প্রথম কাতার মালায়িকাহর (ফিরিশতাদের) কাতারের সমতুল্য।

তোমরা যদি এর ফাযীলাত সম্পর্কে জানতে, তাহলে অবশ্যই তোমরা এজন্য প্রতিযোগিতা করতে। নিশ্চয় দু’জনের জামা‘আত একাকী সালাত আদায়ের চেয়ে উত্তম। তিনজনের জামা‘আত দু’জনের জামা‘আতের চেয়ে উত্তম। জামা‘আতে লোক সংখ্যা যত বেশী হবে মহান আল্লাহর নিকট তা ততই বেশি পছন্দনীয়।[1] হাসান।

ابی بن کعب رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ ایک دن رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ہمیں فجر پڑھائی پھر فرمایا: کیا فلاں حاضر ہے؟

، لوگوں نے کہا: نہیں، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: کیا فلاں حاضر ہے؟ ، لوگوں نے کہا: نہیں، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: یہ دونوں ( عشاء و فجر ) منافقوں پر بقیہ نماز سے زیادہ گراں ہیں، اگر تم کو ان دونوں کی فضیلت کا علم ہوتا تو تم ان میں ضرور آتے چاہے تم کو گھٹنوں کے بل چل کر آنا پڑتا، اور پہلی صف ( اللہ سے قریب ہونے میں ) فرشتوں کی صف کی مانند ہے،

اگر اس کی فضیلت کا علم تم کو ہوتا تو تم اس کی طرف ضرور سبقت کرتے، ایک شخص کا دوسرے شخص کے ساتھ مل کر جماعت سے نماز پڑھنا اس کے تنہا نماز پڑھنے سے زیادہ بہتر ہے، اور ایک شخص کا دو شخصوں کے ساتھ مل کر جماعت سے نماز پڑھنا ایک شخص کے ساتھ نماز پڑھنے سے زیادہ بہتر ہے، جتنی تعداد زیادہ ہو اتنی ہی وہ اللہ تعالیٰ کو زیادہ پسند ہو گی ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hafsh bin Umar] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Abu Ishaq] dari [Abdullah bin Abu Bashir] dari [Ubay bin Ka'ab] dia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah mengerjakan shalat Shubuh bersama kami, lalu beliau bersabda: "Apakah si fulan hadir?"

Mereka (para sahabat) menjawab; Tidak. Beliau bersabda: "Apakah si fulan hadir?" Para sahabat menjawab; Tidak. Beliau bersabda: "Dua shalat ini (Shubuh dan Isya) adalah shalat yang paling berat bagi orang orang munafik. Andaikata kalian mengetahui apa (keutamaan) yang ada pada keduanya, niscaya kalian akan menghadirinya sekalipun dengan merangkak, dan sesungguhnya shaf pertama adalah seperti shaf para malaikat.

Seandainya kalian mengetahui keutamaan shaf pertama, niscaya kalian akan memperebutkannya. Sesungguhnya shalat seseorang yang berjamaah dengan satu orang, adalah lebih baik daripada shalat sendirian. Dan shalatnya bersama dua orang jamaah, adalah lebih baik daripada shalat bersama seorang jamaah. Semakin banyak jama'ahnya, maka semakin dicintai oleh Allah Ta'ala

Ubey b. Ka'b'dan.demiştir ki; Bir gün Resulullah (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) bize sabah namazını kıldırdı ve, "Filan burada mı?" dedi. (Ashab) "hayır" dediler. Resulullah tekrar "peki ya, filan burada mı?"

diye sordu, oradakiler yine "Hayır" karşılığını verdiler. Bunun üzerine Resulullah (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem); "Bu iki namaz (yatsı ve sabah namazları) münafıklara en ağır gelen namazlardır. Eğer siz bu namazlardaki (sabah ve yatsı) sevabı bilseydiniz dizler üzerinde emekleyerek de olsa (bunları cemaatle kılmak için camiye) gelirdiniz.

Birinci saf (Allah'a yakınlık, şeytandan uzaklık, ecir ve sevab yönünden) meleklerin saffı gibidir. Siz birinci saftaki fazileti bilseydiniz, on'a koşar (onun için yarışırdınız. Muhakkak bir adam'ın başka bir adamla (cemaat yaparak) namaz kılması tek başına namaz kılmasından, iki kişi ile birlikte kılması da, bir kişi ile birlikte kılmasından daha çok sevablıdir.

(Cemaat) ne kadar çok olursa Allah'a o kadar sevimli olur" buyurdular. Diğer tahric: Nesai, imame; İbn Mace, mesacid; Ahmed b. Hanbel, V

Sunan Abi Dawud 554, Book 2, Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat), Hadith 164. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) offered the Fajr prayer one day and then asked: Is so-and-so attending this prayer of ours? The Companions replied: No!

Then he said: Is so-and-so present? Another person. They said: No! So, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, the Fajr and ‘Ishā’ prayers are the most burdensome of all prayers for the hypocrites, as people are mostly lazy at their time and they have little chance of Riyā’ (show-off), for they are not seen in darkness. If you, O believers, knew the additional reward and recompense that results from the Fajr and ‘Ishā’ prayers - as the amount of reward depends on the amount of difficulty - you would come to them, even if you had to crawl on your hands and knees. The first row, in terms of their closeness to the Imām, is like the row of angels in terms of their closeness to Allah Almighty.

If the believers knew the merit of the first row, they would race to join it. And indeed, a man's prayer with another man brings more reward and impact than his prayer alone, and his prayer with two men is better than his prayer with one man. A prayer attended by a lot of worshippers is more rewarding and pleasing to Allah.

What it teaches

  • It is prescribed for the Imām of the mosque to check on the conditions of the worshippers and ask about those who are absent.
  • Regular performance of prayer in congregation, especially the ‘Ishā’ and Fajr prayers, is among the signs of Imān.
  • The Hadīth highlights the great reward of the ‘Ishā’ and Fajr prayers, as coming to them requires self-struggle and persistence in worship. Hence, their reward is greater than other prayers.
  • Congregational prayer is valid if two or more persons attend it.
  • It demonstrates the merit of the first row and encourages us to hasten to join it.
  • It shows the excellence of a congregational prayer attended by a lot of people and that the greater the number, the more the reward.
  • Righteous deeds vary in their merit depending on how they are preferred by the Shariah and on their distinct conditions.
