حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ سُمَيٍّ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ مَا فِي النِّدَاءِ وَالصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ ، لَاسْتَهَمُوا عَلَيْهِمَا ، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي التَّهْجِيرِ ، لَاسْتَبَقُوا إِلَيْهِ ، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي الْعَتَمَةِ وَالصُّبْحِ ، لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا " . فَقُلْتُ لِمَالِكٍ : أَمَا يُكْرَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ : الْعَتَمَةَ ؟ قَالَ : هَكَذَا قَالَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If people were to know what reward there is in the call to prayer and in the first row (of prayer), and if they could not attain these except by drawing lots, they would surely draw lots for them. And if people were to know what reward there is in coming early to the prayer, they would race each other to it. And if they were to know what reward there is in the Isha and Fajr prayers, they would surely attend them, even if they had to crawl.
