حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ السَّمَّانِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ مَا فِي النِّدَاءِ وَالصَّفِّ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَسْتَهِمُوا عَلَيْهِ لاَسْتَهَمُوا وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي التَّهْجِيرِ لاَسْتَبَقُوا إِلَيْهِ وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي الْعَتَمَةِ وَالصُّبْحِ لأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If the people were to know what excellence is there in the Adhan and in the first row, and they could not (get these opportunities) except by drawing lots, they would have definitely done that. And if they were to know what excellence lies in joining the prayer in the first takbir (prayer), they would have vied with one another. And if they were to know what excellence lies in the night prayer and morning prayer, they would have definitely come even if crawling (on their knees)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইয়াহইয়া ইবনু ইয়াহইয়া (রহঃ) ..... আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম বলেনঃ আযান দেয়া এবং প্রথম লাইনে দাঁড়ানোর মধ্যে যে কি মর্যাদা রয়েছে তা যদি মানুষ জানতে পারত, তবে তা পাবার জন্য তারা প্রয়োজনবোধে লটারী করত। দুপুরের সালাতের যে মর্যাদা রয়েছে তা যদি তারা জানতে পারত, তবে তারা এটা লাভ করার প্রতিযোগিতায় লেগে যেত। ইশা ও ফজরের সালাতের মধ্যে (তাদের জন্য) কি মর্যাদা রয়েছে তা যদি জানতে পারত তবে তারা হামাগুড়ি দিয়ে হলেও এসে সালাতে উপস্থিত হত। (ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ ৮৬৩, ইসলামিক সেন্টারঃ)
