It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In terms of reward for prayer, the greatest is the person who comes from the farthest distance (to the mosque for prayer), and the one who sits waiting for the prayer and then prays with the Imam has a greater reward than the one who prays earlier and then goes to sleep.
