Chapter 2 · Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat)فِي جِمَاعِ الإِمَامَةِ وَفَضْلِهَا
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: الصَّلَاةُ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ تَعْدِلُ خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ صَلَاةً، فَإِذَا صَلَّاهَا فِي فَلَاةٍ فَأَتَمَّ رُكُوعَهَا وَسُجُودَهَا بَلَغَتْ خَمْسِينَ صَلَاةً ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: قَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ: صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي الْفَلَاةِ تُضَاعَفُ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ، وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ.

Concerning The Position Of The Imam And Its Virtue
Prayer in congregation is equivalent to twenty-five prayers (offered alone). If he prays in a jungle, and performs its bowing and prostrations perfectly, it becomes equivalent to fifty prayers (in respect of reward). Abu Dawud said: Abdul-Walid bin Ziyad narrated in his version of this tradition: Prayer said by a single person in a jungle is more excellent by multiplied degrees than prayer said in congregation.
