1139. THE CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER

3646.لقمانُ عليه السلام - لابنِهِ وهُو يَعِظُهُ - : صَلِّ في جَماعَةٍ ولو عَلَى رَأسِ زُجٍّ !1

3646. Luqman (AS) said to his son, exhorting him, ‘Pray in congregation, even if you have to stand on an arrowhead [to do so].’2

3647.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله - في اُناسٍ أبطَؤوا عن الصَّلاةِ في المَسجِدِ - : لَيُوشِكُ قَومٌ يَدَعُونَ الصَّلاةَ في المَسجِدِ أن نَأمُرَ بحَطَبٍ فَيُوضَعَ على‏ أبوابِهِم ، فَتُوقَدَ علَيهِم نارٌ فَتُحرَقَ علَيهِم بُيوتُهُم .3

3647. The Prophet (SAWA) said regarding a group of people who used to delay from praying [in congregation] in the mosque [praying instead in their own houses], ‘A people who neglect to pray in the mosque almost become deserving of having firewood piled at their doors and set alight so that their houses burn down on them.’4

3648.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : مَن صَلَّى الخَمسَ في جَماعَةٍ فَظُنُّوا بهِ خَيراً .5

3648.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘He who prays all five prayers in congregation, you must only believe to be good [keep good opinion about him].’6
