2689. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنهAllāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "If the peopleknew what is (the reward of) pronouncing theAdhān [call for the Ṣalāt (prayers)] and (ofbeing in) the first row (in the Congregationalprayer), and if they found no other way to getthis privilege except by casting lots, theywould certainly cast lots for it. If they knew(the reward of) the noon prayer, they wouldrace for it, and if they knew (the reward of)the morning (i.e., Fajr) and 'Ishā' (lateevening) Ṣalāt (prayers), they would presentthemselves for the Ṣalāt (prayers) even if theyhad to crawl to reach there." (See H. 615) boat. The people of the upper part came and asked him, (saying), 'What is wrong with you?' He replied, 'You have been troubled much by me (coming up to you), and I have to get water.' Now, if they prevent him from doing that they will save him and themselves, but if they leave him (to do what he wants), they will destroy him and themselves."(1) (See H. 2493)

2689 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ سُمَيٍّ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ مَا فِي النِّدَاءِ وَالصَّفِّ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْتَهِمُوا عَلَيْهِ لاَسْتَهَمُوا، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي التَّهْجِيرِ لاَسْتَبَقُوا إِلَيْهِ، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي العَتَمَةِ وَالصُّبْحِ لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا»
