[984] 131 - (439) It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: “If you knew” - or “if they knew - what there is (of reward) in the front row, there would be drawing of lots.” Ibn Harb said: “...in the first row, there would be drawing of lots.”

Arabic text

131 - (439) حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ أَبُو قَطَنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ خِلَاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ - أَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ - مَا فِي الصَّفِّ الْمُقَدَّمِ لَكَانَتْ قُرْعَةً» وَقَالَ ابْنُ حَرْبٍ: «الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ مَا كَانَتْ إِلَّا قُرْعَةً»
