Zuhair bin Muawiyah narrates: I asked A’mash about this hadith regarding the first rows, which is transmitted from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him), so he narrated with his chain from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Why do you not form rows as the angels form rows before their Lord?”The narrator says: We asked,“O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! How do the angels form rows before their Lord?”The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“They complete the front rows and leave space in the rows behind.”
