871. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "There was a woman who used to pray behind the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ who was beautiful, one of the most beautiful of people. Some of the people used to go to the front row to avoid seeing her, and some used to go to the back row so that when they bowed they could see her from beneath their armpits. Then Allâh revealed the words: 'To Us are known those of you who hasten forward and those who lag behind.'[1] (Da'if)
870 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا نُوحٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ عَمْرٌو، عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: " كَانَتْ امْرَأَةٌ تُصَلِّي خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَسْنَاءُ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ قَالَ: فَكَانَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ يَتَقَدَّمُ فِي الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ لِئَلَّا يَرَاهَا، وَيَسْتَأْخِرُ بَعْضُهُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونَ فِي الصَّفِّ الْمُؤَخَّرِ، فَإِذَا رَكَعَ نَظَرَ مِنْ تَحْتِ إِبْطِهِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ} [الحجر: 24] "

Worshippers consist of various kinds of people - pious as well as evil, true believers as well as hypocrites. In this Hadith, therefore, there is nothing far from probable.
