Is the reward mentioned in the Hadith, "When one of you performs ablution well, then comes to the mosque, intending nothing but prayer, he does not take a single step but Allah raises him thereby a degree and absolves him thereby of a sin, until he enters the mosque," specific to one who performs ablution at home and then goes to the mosque, or does it include one who performs ablution at his workplace, or in the market, or on the street, and then goes to the mosque?

Congregational prayer surpasses individual prayer by twenty-five degrees. This is due to the virtue of purification at home, followed by walking to the mosque, where each step elevates a rank and erases a sin. The angels pray for the worshiper as long as he remains in his prayer place. This reward is conditioned upon performing ablution from home or place of residence and going out solely with the intention of prayer.
