عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضيَ اللهُ عنهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ مَا فِي النِّدَاءِ وَالصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْتَهِمُوا عَلَيْهِ لَاسْتَهَمُوا، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي التَّهْجِيرِ لَاسْتَبَقُوا إِلَيْهِ، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي الْعَتَمَةِ وَالصُّبْحِ لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا».
Kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake yakwamba Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake amesema: "Lau wangejua watu waliyomo katika Adhana na safu ya kwanza, kisha wasipate nafasi ila kwa kupiga kura ili kuyafikia basi wangelipiga kura, na walau wangelijua yaliyomo katika kuwahi basi wangelishindana, na lau wangelijua yaliyomo katika swala ya usiku na swala ya Asubuhi, basi wangeliziendea hata kwa kutambaa".
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Were people to know what is in the call and the first row and then they could do nothing but to draw lots for it, they would draw lots. Were they to know what is in performing the prayer early, they would race to it. Were they to know what is in the darkness and the morning, they would come to them even if they had to crawl."
Kumebainishwa fadhila ya Adhana.
Kumebainishwa fadhila ya safu ya kwanza, na kuwa karibu na imamu.
Kumebanisha ubora wa kuwahi katika swala mwanzo wa wakati wake unaofaa; kwakuwa ndani yake kuna fadhila kubwa, na faida zinazoambatana na hilo, ikiwemo: Kuipata safu ya kwanza, na kuipata swala kuanzia mwanzo wake, na kutekeleza swala za sunna, na kusoma Qur'ani, na kupata kuombewa msamaha na Malaika, na kwamba anapata malipo kana kwamba yupo ndani ya swala kwa muda wote atakaokaa akisubiri swala, na mengineyo.
Himizo kubwa la kuhudhuria jamaa za swala hizi mbili, na fadhila nyingi katika hilo, kwa kuwa ndani yake kuna ugumu juu ya nafsi kama kuibana mwanzo wa usingizi wake na mwisho wake, na ndiyo maana zikawa ndio swala ngumu zaidi kwa wanafiki.
Amesema Nawawi: Hapa kuna kuthibitishwa kupiga kura katika haki ambazo watu wanasongamana na kuzozana ndani yake.
Safu ya pili ni bora kuliko safu ya tatu, na ya tatu ni bora kuliko ya nne, na kuendelea.
