Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) emphasized to his companions and all followers of Islam to pray with the congregation for obligatory daily prayers. Multiple hadiths report the Messenger of Allah discussing the importance of congregating prayers. It was narrated that 'Uthman bin 'Affan (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ) said he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, "Whoever does wudu' properly, then walks to (attend) the prescribed prayer, and prays with the people or with the congregation or in the Masjid, Allah will forgive him his sins." (Grade: Sahih (Darussalam) Sunan an-Nasa'i 856)
Abu Huraira (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying, "A man's prayer in congregation is more valuable than twenty degrees and some above them as compared with his prayer in his house and his market, for when he performs ablution doing it well, then goes out to the mosque, and he is impelled (to do so) only by (the love of congregational) prayer, he has no other objective before him but prayer.
He does not take a step without being raised a degree for it and having a sin remitted for it till he enters the mosque and when he is busy in prayer after having entered the mosque. The angels continue to invoke blessings on him as long as he is in his place of worship. Saying: O Allah, show him mercy, and pardon him! Accept his repentance (and the angels continue this supplication for him) so long as he does not do any harm in it, or as long as his ablution is not broken." (Sahih Muslim 649f)
