عن أبي هريرة أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لو يعلم الناس ما في النداء والصف الأول ثم لم يجدوا إلا أن يستهموا عليه لاستهموا ولو يعلمون ما في التهجير لاستبقوا إليه ولو يعلمون ما في العتمة والصبح لأتوهما ولو حبوا (صحيح مسلم #437)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “If people knew the reward for calling out the azaan and performing Salaah in the first saff, and there was no other way for them to attain it besides drawing lots, then they would do so. If people knew the reward for coming early for Salaah, they would surely hasten for Salaah, and if they knew the reward for performing the ‘Esha Salaah and Fajr Salaah with jamaat in the musjid, they would ensure that they come for these two Salaahs, even if they had to come crawling.”
