Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, "If people knew the blessings of calling Azaan and standing in the first row, they could do nothing but would draw lots to secure these privileges.'' (Sahih Bukhari )

Hazrat Bara' bin Azib (RA) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said : "…Allah and His angels invoke blessings upon the first rows.'' (Abu Dawood)

Hazrat Samurah bin Jundub (RA) narrates that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “Be present for the Khutbah and sit close to the speaker. Verily if a person continues to sit a distance from the speaker he will be delayed entry into Jannah even if he enters Jannah.” (Abu Dawood)

Let us take advantage of these great benefits by occupying the first row for Salah, as soon as we enter the Masjid.
