“I had considered ordering for the prayer to be established, then I would order every man to pray and set loose men who have with them logs of wood upon a people who did not come to the prayer and I would burn their houses with the fire.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
Here are some virtues of praying Salah at the Masjid:
1. Superiority of praying in congregation
He (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) also said, “ Prayer in congregation is superior to prayer alone by twenty-seven degrees.” [Bukhari & Muslim, from Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him)]
2. A place in Jannah for those who attend the Masjid Morning and evening
Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) reported: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said, ”He who goes to the mosque in the morning or in the evening, Allah prepares for him a place in Jannah whenever he goes to the mosque in the morning and returns from it in the evening.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
