Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Salat in congregation is twenty-seven times more meritorious than a Salat performed individually." <b>[Al- Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.

وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏"‏صلاة الجماعة أفضل من صلاة الفذ بسبع وعشرين درجة‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) Congregational prayer is one of the best acts of worship, given its various merits, such as the multiplication of rewards compared to prayer performed individually.<br> 2) Allah’s grace is great and His mercy is all-inclusive. He has made it accessible to His believing servants through the easiest of ways. He gives great rewards for simple deeds.<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> There is no contradiction between the two Hadiths regarding the reward of 27 degrees and 25 degrees. We should adopt the greater reward by way of increasing the relevant virtue.
