Hadith 27

It is reported by Al Shaheed Al Saany, may his soul be sanctified, in his commentary upon ‘Al Irshad’, from the book, ‘Al Imam Wa Al Mamoum’ of the Sheykh Abu Muhammad Ja’far Bin Ahmad Al Qummi, by his chain connected to Abu Saeed Al Khudry who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Jibraeel-as came to me-saww with seventy thousand Angels after Al-Zohr Salat. He-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! Your-saww Lord-azwj Conveys the Greeting to You-azwj and Gifts to gifts to You-azwj He-azwj had not Gifted to any Prophet-as before you-saww! ’
I-saww said: ‘And what are these two gifts? ’
He-as said: ‘Al-Witr (Salat) of three Cycles, and the five (daily) Salat(s) in congregation’. I-saww said: ‘O Jibraeel-as, and what is for my-saww community in the congregation (of Salat)? ’
He-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! When there were to be two (persons), Allah-azwj will Write for each one, for every Cycle prayed, one hundred and fifty Salat(s); and when there were to be three, Allah-azwj will Write for each one, for every Cycle prayed, sic hundred Salat(s); and when there were to be four, Allah-azwj will Write for each one, for every Cycle prayed, one thousand and two hundred Salat(s). And when there were to be five, Allah-azwj will Write for each one, for every Cycle prayed, two thousand and four hundred (Salat(s)); and when there were to be six, Allah-azwj will Write for each one of them, for every Cycle prayed, four thousand and eight and eight hundred Salat(s); and when there were to be seven, Allah-azwj will Write for each one of them, for every Cycle prays, nine thousand and six hundred Salat(s). And when there were to be eight, Allah-azwj will Write for each one of them, for every Cycle prayed, nineteen thousand and two hundred Salat(s); and when there were to be nine, Allah‑azwj will Write for each one of them, for every Cycle prayed, thirty-six thousand and four hundred Salat(s); and when there were to be ten, Allah-azwj will Write for each one, for every Cycle prayed, seventy-two thousand and eight hundred Salat(s)! If they were to increase upon the ten, so even if all the skies were to become ink, and the trees as pens, and the two heavyweights (Jinn and the humans) along with the Angels were to write, they will not be able to write Rewards of even one Cycle! O Muhammad-saww! An exclamation of Takbeer the Momin attains with the prayer leader is better than a thousand Hajj and Umar, and better than the world and whatever is in it seventy thousand times; and a Cycle of Salat the Momin prays with the prayer leader is better than a hundred thousand Dinars donated in charity with upon the poor; and two Sajdah(s) the Momin prostrates with the prayer leader in a congregation is better than liberating one hundred necks’’.
