Sunan Ibn Majah 800

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "A muslim does not regularly attend the mosques to perform prayer and remember Allah, but Allah feels happy with him just as the family of one who is absent feels happy when he comes back to them."

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr said: "We performed the Maghrib (prayer) with the Messenger of Allah , then those who went back went back, and those who stayed, stayed. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came back in a hurry, out of breath, with his garment pulled up to his knees, and said: 'Be of good cheer, for your Lord has opened one of the gates of heaven and is boasting of you before the angels, saying: "Look at My slaves; they have fulfilled one obligatory duty and are awaiting another."

Adam said to him: O Musa, Allah chose you to speak with, and he wrote the Tawrah for you with His own Hand. Are you blaming me for something which Allah decreed for me forty years before He created me? Thus Adam won the argument with Musa, thus Adam won the argument with Musa.'
