Hadith 12

(The book) ‘Al Majaalis’ – from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Masrour, from Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Bin Aamir, from his uncle Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Ziyad, from Ibrahim Bin Ziyad, ‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who prays five Salat(s) during the day and night in congregation, then thing good about him and allow his testimony’’. [16]
And from him in a Hadeeth of the prohibitions, ‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘One who lead a group (in Salat) by their permission and they are satisfied with him, he should be moderate (shorten) with them in his presence, and be excellent of his Salat with his standing, and his recitation, and his Ruk’u, and his Sajdah, and his sitting, for him would be Recompense like the (whole) group without anything being reduced from their Recompense. Indeed, and the one who leads a group (in Salat) with their instructions, then he does not complete the Salat with them, and is not good in his Ruk’u, and his Sajdah, and his fearfulness, and his recitation, his Salat will be returned to him and will not go beyond his collarbone, and his status would be like the status of a tyrannical leader, a transgressor, not correct (good) to his citizens, and does not stand among them with rights, nor stands upon them with a Command (of Allah-azwj)’. And he-asws said: ‘Indeed, and the one who walks to a Masjid seeking in it the congregational Salat, there will be for him, for every step, seventy thousand good deeds, and there will be raised for him the ranks similar to that, and if he dies while he is upon that, Allah-azwj will Allocate seventy thousand Angels with him bidding him farewell in his grave and comforting him in his loneliness, and seeking Forgiveness for him until he is Resurrected’’. [17]
And from him, from Ahmad Bin Ziyad Al Hamdany, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Maymoun Al Qaddah, ‘From Al-Sadiq-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww stipulated conditions upon neighbours of the Masjid to attend the Salat, and said: ‘Let the people not attending the (congregational) Salat desist or I-saww shall instruct the Muezzin to proclaim Azaan, the Iqamah, then I-saww shall instruct a man from People-asws of my-saww Household, and he-asws is Ali-asws, let him-asws burn down upon people their houses with bundles of firewood, because they are not attending the (congregational) Salat’’.
