The Excellence of Standing in the First Row (In Salat)
- وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "لو يعلم الناس ما في النداء والصف الأول، ثم لم يجدوا إلا أن يستهموا عليه لاستهموا" ((متفق عليه)).
Translation
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "If people came to know the blessing of calling Adhan and the standing in the first row, they could do nothing but would draw lots to secure these privileges." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
