If the people knew what is the reward of making the call (for the prayer) and (of being in) the first row (in the prayer), and they found no other way to get this privilege except by casting lots, they would certainly cast lots for it. If they knew the reward of coming early, they would race for it, and if they knew the reward of the ‘Ishâ` and morning (i.e. Fajr) prayers, they would go for the prayer even if they had to crawl to reach there.” [Reported by Al-Bukhari]
