00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200
The Everlasting Deeds

00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:08.800
The everlasting righteous deeds

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.919
The reward of praying in the first row

00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.880
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)

00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:20.239
That the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said

00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:24.640
If people knew what reward there is in the call to prayer and the first row

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:29.750
And could find no other way to attain it than by drawing lots, they would surely do so

00:00:29.989 --> 00:00:34.429
And if they knew the reward in arriving early for prayer, they would race toward it

00:00:34.429 --> 00:00:37.750
And if they knew the reward in the night prayer and the dawn prayer

00:00:37.750 --> 00:00:41.100
They would come to them even if they had to crawl

00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:43.539
Narrated by al-Bukhari

00:00:43.539 --> 00:00:47.780
The meaning of "drawing lots" is to cast lots

00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:51.659
"Arriving early" means hastening to the prayer

00:00:51.659 --> 00:00:54.659
"The night prayer" refers to the Isha prayer
