Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best row for men in prayer is the first row, and the worst is the last. Abu Muhammad says that perhaps the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: The worst row for women is the first, and the best is the last.
