Arabic text

سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ قَالَ: أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي اَلْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَحْدَهُ فِي مَسْجِدِ اَلْكُوفَةِ أَفْضَلُ أَوْ صَلاَتُهُ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ أَفْضَلُ فَقَالَ« اَلصَّلاَةُ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ أَفْضَلُ»

Translation

Sa’ad from Abu Ja’far from al-Abbas ibn Ma‘ruf from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hamid from Muhammad ibn Umarah, he said: I sent to Abu al-Hasan al-Ridha (a.s), peace be upon him, asking Imam (a.s) about a man who performs the obligatory prayer alone in the Mosque of Kufah is that better, or is his prayer in congregation better? Imam (a.s) said: “Prayer in congregation is better.”
