While the Prophet (ﷺ) was in the market, somebody, called, "O Abul-Qasim." The Prophet (ﷺ) turned to him.
The man said, "I have called to this (i.e. another man)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Name yourselves by my
name but not by my Kunya (name)." (In Arabic world it is the custom to call the man as the father of
his eldest son, e.g. Abul-Qasim.)

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The congregational prayer of anyone amongst you is more than twenty (five or
twenty seven) times in reward than his prayer in the market or in his house, for if he performs ablution
completely and then goes to the mosque with the sole intention of performing the prayer, and nothing
urges him to proceed to the mosque except the prayer, then, on every step which he takes towards the
mosque, he will be raised one degree or one of his sins will be forgiven. The angels will keep on
asking Allah's forgiveness and blessings for everyone of you so long as he keeps sitting at his praying
place. The angels will say, 'O Allah, bless him! O Allah, be merciful to him!' as long as he does not do
Hadath or a thing which gives trouble to the other." The Prophet (ﷺ) further said, "One is regarded in
prayer so long as one is waiting for the prayer."
