It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The prayer in congregation is twenty-seven times superior to the prayer offered alone." This is agreed upon (by Al-Bukhari and Muslim] Ali Al-Qari said: Abu Hanifah and Malik used this as evidence for the Sunnah of congregational prayer.
