English Translation
Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If the people knew what is in the call to prayer and the first row, and they could not get it except by drawing lots, they would draw lots for it. And if they knew what is in coming early to the prayer, they would race to it. And if they knew what is in the Isha and Fajr prayers, they would come to them even if they had to crawl.'
