Arabic Text
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 ا
لتَّهْجِيرِ لَاسْتَبَقُوا إِلَيْهِ وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي الْعَتَمَةِ وَالصُّبْحِ لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا فَقُلْتُ لِمَالِكٍ أَمَا يُكْرَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ الْعَتَمَةَ قَالَ هَكَذَا قَالَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Razzaq, from Malik, from Sumayy, from Abu Salih — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If people knew what [reward] lies in the adhan and the first row — they would draw lots for them. And if they knew what lies in al-tahjir [coming to the mosque early for prayer] — they would race to it. And if they knew what lies in the 'atama [Isha] prayer and the Subh prayer — they would come to them even crawling.' [The narrator said:] I asked Malik: 'Is it not disliked to say al-'atama?' He said: 'That is how the one who narrated it to me said it.'
