و قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي النِّدَاءِ وَالصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْتَهِمُوا عَلَيْهِ لَاسْتَهَمُوا عَلَيْهِقَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ إِسْحَقُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ سُمَيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ و حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ عَنْ مَالِكٍ نَحْوَهُ
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If people knew the reward of answering the call to prayer and the first row, then they would not get it except by drawing lots, they would certainly draw lots for it." He said: "[Ishaq bin Musa] narrated that to us from [Ma'n], he said: narrated to us [Malik] from [Sumai] from [Abu Shalih] from [Abu Hurairah] from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as in the hadith. And [Qutaibah] also narrated to us from [Malik] as in that hadith."
