The reward of congregational prayer when there are multiple congregations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A group missed the Fajr prayer, so if they stand up and pray it after the time has passed,Do they fall under the hadith: (Whoever prays Fajr in congregation is in the protection of Allah)?
The reality is that the reward and the consequences resulting from congregational prayer,It is a point of difficulty for me: do they apply to the first congregation, or to every congregation, even if it is after the first?For example: Congregational prayer is twenty-seven degrees better than the prayer of an individual. We entered the mosque and found that the people had already prayed, so we prayed in congregation. Do we attain the twenty-seven degrees? This is a point of difficulty for me; because if we said this, it would necessitate that people delay the first congregation,And they said: as long as they want the reward, whenever we are free we go to the mosque to pray.
So I have a difficulty with this, but if we enter the mosque and they have already prayed, then we pray in congregation, which is better than each of us praying alone,And the evidence for that is: the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): (The prayer of a man with another man is purer than his prayer alone, and his prayer with two men is purer than his prayer with one man, and the more there are, the more beloved it is to Allah), and a man entered while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was sitting with his Companions, and he had missed the congregational prayer,So he said: (Whoever will give charity to this man by praying with him?).
The reward of the dhikr after the Fajr prayer for those who missed the prayer is a matter of consideration for me; because all the reward attached to congregational prayer is only in the first congregation.
