English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn 'Amr, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'If the people knew what is in the Adhan and the first row, and they could not obtain 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 'Isha' and Fajr prayers, they would come to them even if they had to crawl.'
