قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا يَرْوِي النَّاسُ أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَحْدَهُ بِخَمْسٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ صَلَاةً فَقَالَ صَدَقُوا فَقُلْتُ الرَّجُلَانِ يَكُونَانِ جَمَاعَةً فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ يَقُومُ الرَّجُلُ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْإِمَامِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Zurara who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What the people are reporting is that the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in a <span class="iTxt">Jam’at</span> is superior to the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> of the man praying alone, by twenty five <span class="iTxt">Salāts</span>’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘They are speaking the truth’. So I said, ‘Can the two men happen to be (classified as) a <span class="iTxt">Jam’at</span>?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, and the man would be standing upon the right of the Imam’.
