The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If people knew the reward of giving the call to prayer and standing in the first row, and could find no way to obtain it except by drawing lots, they would draw lots for it. If they knew the reward of going early to prayer, they would race one another to it. And if they knew the reward of the night and dawn prayers, they would come to them even if they had to crawl."
أخبرنا عتبة بن عبد الله قال قرأت على مالك بن أنس ح والحارث بن مسكين قراءة عليه وأنا أسمع عن ابن القاسم قال حدثني مالك عن سمي عن أبي صالح
أن رسول الله ﷺ قال لو يعلم الناس ما في النداء والصف الأول ثم لم يجدوا إلا أن يستهموا عليه لاستهموا ولو يعلم الناس ما في التهجير لاستبقوا إليه ولو علموا ما في العتمة والصبح لأتوهما ولو حبوا
Bukhari transmitted it in the Book of Adhan, chapter "Drawing lots for the adhan," hadith 615, and Muslim in the Book of Prayer, and so on, hadith 437, from the hadith of Malik through the same chain, chapter "Straightening the rows and establishing them and the merit of the front rows one after another." It is also found in the Muwatta (Yahya's recension) 1/68, and in Kubra, hadith 1521.
