عن أُبيِّ بن كعبٍ رضي الله عنه قال: صلَّى بنا رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يومًا الصُّبحَ فقال: «أشاهِد فُلان؟» قالوا: لا، قال: «أشاهِدٌ فُلان؟» قالوا: لا، قال: «إنَّ هاتيَنِ الصَّلاتين أثقَلُ الصَّلَواتِ على المُنافقين، ولو تعلمون ما فيهما لأتيتُمُوهما ولو حَبْوًا على الرُّكب، وإن الصفَّ الأوّلَ على مِثلِ صَفِّ الملائكة، ولو عَلِمتُم ما فضيلتُه لابتَدَرتُموهُ، وإنّ صلاةَ الرجل مع الرجل أزكى من صلاتِه وحدَه، وصلاتَه مع الرجلَين أزكى من صلاتِه مع الرجل، وما كَثُرَ فهو أحبُّ إلى الله تعالى».
Kutoka kwa Ubai bin Ka'ab radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake amesema: Alitusalisha Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake swala ya asubuhi, akasema: "Hivi fulani yupo", Wakasema: Hapana, akasema: "Na je fulani yupo?", Wakasema: Hapana: Akasema: "Hakika swala hizi mbili, ni swala nzito sana kwa wanafiki, na lau kama mngejua malipo yaliyomo basi mngezijia, hata kwa kutambaa kwa magoti, na hakika safu ya kwanza iko katika mithili ya safu ya Malaika, na laiti mngejua ni zipi fadhila zake basi mngezijia haraka mno, na hakika swala ya mtu na mwenzie ni safi zaidi kuliko swala yake peke yake, na swala yake akiwa na watu wawili ni nzuri zaidi kuliko swala yake na mtu mmoja, na wingi unavyozidi ndio unaopendeka kwa Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu".
’Ubayy ibn Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Fajr prayer one day and said: "Is so-and-so present?" They replied: 'No.' He said: "Is so-and-so present?" They replied: 'No.' Thereupon, he said: "These two prayers are the most burdensome of all prayers for the hypocrites. If you knew what they contain, you would come to them, even if you had to crawl on your knees. The first row is like that of the angels, and if you knew the nature of its excellence, you would race to join it. A man's prayer with another man is purer than his prayer alone, and his prayer with two men is purer than his prayer with one man; the greater the number, the more pleasing it is to Allah Almighty."
Sheria ya imam wa msikiti kukagua hali za waumini, na kumuulizia asiyekuwepo.
Kudumu na swala ya jamaa, na hasa hasa swala ya Ishaa na Alfajiri ni katika alama za imani.
Ukubwa wa malipo ya swala mbili, Ishaa na Alfajiri; kwa sababu kuziendea kunahitaji kupambana na nafsi na kuwa na subira katika utiifu, ikawa malipo yake ni makubwa kuliko swala zingine.
Swala ya jamaa inakamilika kwa kuanzia watu wawili na zaidi.
Kumebainishwa fadhila za safu ya kwanza, na himizo la kuiendea haraka.
Fadhila za wingi wa jamaa, kwani kila wingi unavyokithiri pia malipo huwa mengi.
Amali njema hutofautiana ubora kulingana na kuzidiana sheria yake, na hali zake maalum.
