Chapter on the Virtue of Mosques and Prayer Within Them, and the Virtue of Congregational Prayer and Its Rulings

سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْوَلِيدِ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أُصَلِّي ثُمَّ أَدْخُلُ اَلْمَسْجِدَ فَتُقَامُ اَلصَّلاَةُ وَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ فَقَالَ« صَلِّ مَعَهُمْ يَخْتَارُ اَللَّهُ أَحَبَّهُمَا إِلَيْهِ
Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn al-Walid from Yaqub from Abu Basir who said: I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “I perform the prayer and then enter the mosque and the congregational prayer is established while I have already prayed.” Imam عليه السلام said: “Pray with them; Allah سبحانه وتعالى chooses the one He عز وجل loves more from the two.”
