Hadith 391
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If people knew what reward and virtue there is in calling the Adhan and performing prayer in the first row, and they found no way except to draw lots, then they would draw lots for it." This is the hadith of Yahya bin Hakim. Utbah bin Abdullah Yahmadi says that I recited this hadith from Sumi to Imam Malik.
