Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If people knew how much reward there is in calling the Adhan and in praying in the first row, and they had no other way except to draw lots for it, then they would certainly draw lots for it. And if people knew how much reward there is in coming early for the prayer, they would surely compete with one another to get ahead. And if people knew how much reward there is in the ‘Isha and Fajr prayers, they would certainly come to them even if they had to crawl.
