فَضْلِ صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ

The virtue of the Fajr prayer in congregation

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " تَفْضُلُ صَلاَةُ الْجَمِيعِ صَلاَةَ أَحَدِكُمْ وَحْدَهُ بِخَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ جُزْءًا، وَتَجْتَمِعُ مَلاَئِكَةُ اللَّيْلِ وَمَلاَئِكَةُ النَّهَارِ فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ ". ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ {إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا}

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ

Translation

Abu Hurairah reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “The prayer in congregation surpasses the prayer of one of you alone by twenty-five parts, and the angels of the night and the angels of the day gather at the Fajr prayer.” Then Abu Hurairah says, “Recite, if you wish: ‘Indeed, the recitation at dawn is ever witnessed.’”

Abu Huraira berichtete: Ich hörte den Gesandten Allahs ﷺ sagen: „Das Gebet in der Gemeinschaft übertrifft das Gebet eines von euch allein um fünfundzwanzig Teile, und die Engel der Nacht und die Engel des Tages versammeln sich beim Morgengebet.“ Dann sagt Abu Huraira: „Lest, wenn ihr wollt: ‚Gewiss, die Lesung in der Morgendämmerung wird bezeugt.‘“

Ebû Hüreyre (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Resûlullah'ı ﷺ şöyle buyururken işittim: “Cemaatle kılınan namaz, sizden birinin tek başına kıldığı namazdan yirmi beş kat üstündür. Gece melekleri ile gündüz melekleri sabah namazında bir araya gelirler.” Sonra Ebû Hüreyre şöyle der: “Dilerseniz şunu okuyun: ‘Şüphesiz sabah vaktindeki okuyuş şahitlidir.’”
