180| Chapter on the virtue of the back rows for women over the front rows
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 1693 — 180| Chapter on the virtue of the back rows
وَالدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ صُفُوفَهُنَ إِذَا كَانَتْ مُتَبَاعِدَةً عَنْ صُفُوفِ الرِّجَالِ كَانَتْ أَفْضَلَ.
And the evidence that their rows, if they are distant from the rows of the men, are better.
نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلاءُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " خَيْرُ صُفُوفِ الرِّجَالِ أَوَّلُهَا ، وَشَرُّهَا آخِرُهَا ، وَخَيْرُ صُفُوفِ النِّسَاءِ آخِرُهَا ، وَشَرُّهَا أَوَّلُهَا "
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best rows for men are the front ones and their worst rows are the back ones, and the best rows for women are the back ones and their worst rows are the front ones."
