📖 1 min readأن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رأى في أصحابه تأخُّرًا فقال لهم: «تَقَدَّمُوا فَأْتَمُّوا بي، وليأتمَّ بكم مَن بعدكم، لا يزال قومٌ يتأخرون حتى يؤخرَّهم اللهُ».
This noble Hadīth points to the merit of being close to the Imām and indicates that the last rows should follow the lead of the first ones, warning those who lag behind in the back rows of lagging behind in receiving Allah's mercy and grace and in obtaining high status, knowledge, and so on.
