Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثنا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْعُكْلِيُّ أنبأ شَرِيكٌ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي خَلْفَ الصَّفِّ وَحْدَهُ فَقَالَ صَلَاتُهُ تَامَّةٌ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ تَضْعِيفٌ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ يُرِيدُ لَا يَكُونُ لَهُ تَضْعِيفُ الْأَجْرِ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ وَكَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَفَى فَضْلَ الْجَمَاعَةِ وَأَمَرَهُ بِالْإِعَادَةِ لِتَحْصُلَ لَهُ زِيَادَةٌ وَلَا يَعُودَ إِلَى تَرْكِ السُّنَّةِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
English Translation
Ibrahim was asked about a man who prays behind the row alone, and he said: 'His prayer is valid, but he does not get the multiplied reward.' The Shaykh said: He means he does not get the multiplied reward of the congregation. It is as if the Prophet (peace be upon him) negated the merit of the congregation and commanded him to repeat so that he would gain the extra reward and not repeat the abandonment of the Sunnah. And Allah knows best.
