Sahih Bukhari

Book 10: Call to Prayers (Adhaan)

Chapter 30

Superiority of the congregational Salat (prayer)

باب فَضْلِ صَلاَةِ الْجَمَاعَةِ

Whenever Al-Aswad missed the congregational Salat (prayer) he used to go to another mosque (to offer the Salat in congregation). Once, Anas came to a mosque where the Salat was finished; he pronounced the Adhan and then Iqama and offered the Salat in congregation. ​​
وَكَانَ الأَسْوَدُ إِذَا فَاتَتْهُ الْجَمَاعَةُ ذَهَبَ إِلَى مَسْجِدٍ آخَرَ. وَجَاءَ أَنَسٌ إِلَى مَسْجِدٍ قَدْ صُلِّيَ فِيهِ، فَأَذَّنَ وَأَقَامَ وَصَلَّى جَمَاعَةً.
Sahih al-Bukhari 646
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ الْهَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ ‏‏.‏
"‏ صَلاَةُ الْجَمَاعَةِ تَفْضُلُ صَلاَةَ الْفَذِّ بِخَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً ‏"
Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The prayer in congregation is twenty five times superior to the prayer offered by person alone."
