The congregational prayer surpasses the prayer of any one of you alone by twenty-five times. And the angels of the night and the angels of the day gather at the Fajr prayer
عَن أَبي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «تَفْضُلُ صَلاَةُ الجَمِيعِ صَلاَةَ أَحَدِكُمْ وَحْدَهُ، بِخَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ جُزْءًا، وَتَجْتَمِعُ مَلاَئِكَةُ اللَّيْلِ وَمَلاَئِكَةُ النَّهَارِ فِي صَلاَةِ الفَجْرِ» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: فَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ: {إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا} [الإسراء: 78].
Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) explained that the reward and recompense of a man's prayer in congregation with the Imam is better than twenty-five prayers that he performs alone in his home or marketplace. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) then mentioned that the angels of the night and the angels of the day gather at the Fajr prayer.
Then Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), citing evidence for this, says: Recite, if you wish: {The recitation of dawn is ever witnessed [by the angels].} [Surat al-Isrā’: 78] i.e., the Fajr prayer is witnessed by the angels of the night and the angels of the day.
