حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ سُمَيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ مَا فِي النِّدَاءِ وَالصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ لَاسْتَهَمُوا عَلَيْهِمَا، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي التَّهْجِيرِ لَاسْتَبَقُوا إِلَيْهِ، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي الْعَتَمَةِ وَالصُّبْحِ لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا

✧ If people knew what is in the call to prayer and the first row, they would draw lots for them. And if they knew what is in going early to Friday prayer, they would race to it. And if they knew what is in the 'atamah and the morning prayers, they would come to them even if they had to crawl.
