Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If people were to know what reward and merit there is in giving the call to prayer (adhan) and in performing prayer in the first row, and then they could only attain it by drawing lots, they would surely draw lots for it. And if they were to know the reward for going early to the prayer, they would race each other to it. And if they were to know the virtue of the ‘Isha and Fajr prayers (offered in congregation), they would surely attend them even if they had to crawl."
