Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) passed by Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was sitting at his door, gesturing with his hand as though talking to himself. He asked: O Abu Abd al-Rahman! What is the matter with you, sitting here alone talking to yourself? Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The enemy of Allah (Satan) wants to divert me from words I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Abdullah said: Is your life's struggle now to be spent in your house? Why do you not go out to the mosque and converse? Mu'adh said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever strives in the path of Allah is under the guarantee (protection) of Allah; whoever sits in his house and backbites no one is under the guarantee of Allah; whoever visits a sick person is under the guarantee of Allah; whoever goes to the mosque is under the guarantee of Allah; and whoever goes to a (just) ruler to honour him is under the guarantee of Allah." So the enemy of Allah wants me to leave my house and go to the gathering of people (so that this reward is lost). Its narrators are trustworthy Egyptians, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give glad tidings of complete light on the Day of Resurrection to those who frequently walk to the mosques in the darkness." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you see a man who is accustomed to frequenting the mosques, then bear witness to his faith, for Allah Almighty says: 'The mosques of Allah are only maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day.'" This narration of the Egyptian narrators is sahih (authentic) and truthful, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever a person makes the mosque his regular place for prayer, Allah Almighty is pleased with him just as the family of an absent person (a traveller) are pleased when he returns to them." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever any one of you performs ablution well and completely, then comes to the mosque intending nothing but the prayer, Allah Almighty is pleased with his coming just as the family of an absent person are pleased when he comes."

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Whoever leads the people in prayer and leads the prayer at the correct time, its reward will be for him and for those following him; and if he falls short in anything (in its time or its pillars), its burden will be upon him and not upon those following him." This hadith is sahih (authentic); Imam Muslim used Abd al-Rahman bin Harmalah as evidence and Imam Bukhari used Yahya bin Ayyub as evidence, yet they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the mu'adhdhin of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would give the adhan and then wait a little, and when he saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was coming, he would then begin the iqamah. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever joins a row, Allah will join him (to His mercy), and whoever cuts off a row, Allah will cut him off (from His mercy)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon those who join the rows." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but they did not record it.
