Encouraged
others to attend the prayer
*Please appropriately reference

Question:
A person saw some workers on his way to the masjid
so he stopped by them and encouraged them to attend the salaah
and gave them some advice. As a result of being delayed by
the workers, he missed the Takbeeratul-Ihraam (the saying
of Allaahu
Akbar when beginning the salaah).
So is he rewarded as one who caught the Takbeeratul-Ihraam
or not?
Response:
He is rewarded more than those who caught the Takbeeratul-Ihraam
since being present for the Takbeeratul-Ihraam is a Sunnah.
As for advising these (workers) and encouraging them with
good, then that is obligatory. Therefore, he is rewarded more
for this than having missed out on (the reward for attending)
the Takbeeratul-Ihraam.
