555 — Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated to us: Ishaq ibn Yusuf narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Abu Sahl — meaning Uthman ibn Hakim —: Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Amrah narrated to us, from Uthman ibn Affan, may God be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever prays the evening prayer in congregation is like one who has stood in prayer for half a night, and whoever prays the evening prayer and the dawn prayer in congregation is like one who has stood in prayer for a whole night."(1)

49 — Chapter on the virtue of walking to prayer

556 — Musaddad narrated to us: Yahya narrated to us, from Ibn Abi Dhi'b, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Mihran, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa'd, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "The farther one is from the mosque, the greater his reward."(2)

557 — Abdullah ibn Muhammad al-Nufayli narrated to us: Zuhayr narrated to us: Sulayman al-Taymi narrated to us, that Abu Uthman narrated to him--------------------------------------------
(1) Its chain of transmission is sound. It is in the Musnad of Ahmad (491). Muslim (656) and al-Tirmidhi (219) also transmitted it via two routes from Uthman ibn Hakim, with this chain. It is also in the Musnad of Ahmad (408) and Sahih Ibn Hibban (2058) and (2059).
(2) Good due to corroborating evidence, though this chain is weak. Abd al-Rahman ibn Mihran — no one narrated from him except Ibn Abi Dhi'b (whose name is Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman) — and Ibn Hibban mentioned him in al-Thiqat, and al-Daraqutni said: He is considered. The rest of its narrators are trustworthy. Yahya is Ibn Sa'id al-Qattan. Ibn Majah (782) also transmitted it via the route of Waki', from Ibn Abi Dhi'b, with this chain. It is in the Musnad of Ahmad (8618). The two hadiths that follow it serve as supporting evidence.
