Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: The first item in respect of which a person would be called to account on the Day of Judgment will be Prayer. If that is found in order he would be successful and prosper, but if that is not in order he would be ruined and lost. In case of a shortcoming in his obligations the Lord of honour and glory will say: Look, if among the voluntary actions of My servant there is anything that would make up the shortcomings in respect of his obligations. All his obligations would be checked up in that manner (Tirmidhi).
Jabiribn Samurah relates: The Holy Prophet came up to us and said: Why do you not stand in rows as do the angels before their Lord? We inquired: Messenger of Allah, how do the angels range themselves before their Lord? He answered: They fill each row beginning with the first and stand close together (Muslim).
Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: If people realised the beneficence of calling the Azan and standing in the first row for Prayer and they could secure these privileges only through drawing lots they would draw lots for them; and if they knew themerit of coming early to Prayer they would vie with each other in hastening to it; and-if,they appreciated the value of the dawn and evening Prayers they would come to them even if they had to crawl on all fours (Bokhari and Muslim).
Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: The best rows of men in Prayer are the first ones and the worst are the last ones and the best rows of women in Prayer are the last ones and the worst are the first (Muslim).
Abu Sa‘id Khudri relates that the Holy Prophet perceiving a tendency among his companions that they preferred to stand in back rows said to them: Come forward and be close to me and let those who come after be close to you. If a people begin to fall behind. Allah puts them behind (Muslim).
Ugqbah ibn Amr relates that the Holy Prophet would place his hands upon our shoulders when we were lining up for Prayer and would say: Stand in straight rows and do not differ among yourselves, else your hearts will be in disaccord. Let those be nearest to me who are of age and possess understanding, then those who are closest to them in these respects and then those who are closest to them (Muslim).
Anas relates that the Holy Prophet said: Keep your rows straight, for keeping them straight is part of the due observance of Prayer (Bokhari and Muslim).
Anas relates: We stood up for Prayer and the Holy Prophet joining us said: Make your rows straight and stand shoulder to shoulder for I can observe you from the back of my head (Bokhari and Muslim). Bokhari adds: We used to stand shoulder to shoulder and foot to foot.
This Aadith is-the same as No. 161.
Bra‘a ibn ‘Azib relates: The Holy Prophet would pass between the rows from one end to the other putting our chests and shoulders in line, saying: Do not be out of line, else your hearts will be out of line; and would add: Allah and His angels send down blessings on the front rows (Abu Daud).
