حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ مُوَرِّقٍ الْعِجْلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ صَلَاةُ الْجَمِيعِ تَفْضُلُ صَلَاةَ الرَّجُلِ وَحْدَهُ خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ صَلَاةً كُلُّهَا مِثْلُ صَلَ
اتِهِ قَالَ عَفَّانُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ أَبَا الْعَوَّامِ وَافَقَهُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مِثْلَهُ

It was narrated from 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) — via Abu Dawud and 'Affan, from Hammam, from Qatada, from Muwarriq al-'Ijli, from Abu al-Ahwas — from the Prophet ﷺ — that he said: 'The congregational prayer exceeds the prayer of a man alone by twenty-five prayers, every one of them equal to his prayer [in reward].' ['Affan] says: I was informed that Abu al-'Awwam agreed with him. — [Second chain] via 'Abd al-Wahhab, from Sa'id, from Qatada, from Abu al-Ahwas, from Ibn Mas'ud — the Prophet ﷺ said the same.
