Jabir bin Samurah (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) came out to
us (once) and said, "
Why do you not stand in rows as the angels do before their Rubb?
'' We asked: "O Messenger of
Allah! how do the angels stand in rows before their Rubb?'' He (PBUH) replied, "
They complete each row beginning
with the first and filling all the gaps
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
Taras means to stand in the style of a wall, each brick of which is interlocked with another so much
so that there is not even the slightest gap between two of its bricks. When people array themselves for Salat, they
should keep their feet and shoulders so close with one another on their left and right that there is no gap or space
between them. Moreover, the front rows should be completed first. One should never take place in the second row if
there is place in the first. Similarly, one should never take place in the third row if there is room in the second line.
And so on and so forth.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
If people
came to know the blessing of calling Adhan and the standing in the first row, they could do nothing but would draw
lots to secure these privileges
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has already been mentioned. It is repeated here to emphasize the merits of getting a
place in the first row for Salat which is offered in congregation.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
The best of
the men's rows (in Salat) is the first row and the worst is the last; but the best of the woman's row is the last and the
worst of their rows is the first
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
Islam has strongly condemned the association of men and women and enjoined women to keep away
from mixing with men and observe Hijab (
veil
). The merit and demerit of place, in the rows in prayer, mentioned in
this Hadith is with reference to this background because in the days of the Prophet (PBUH) women used to perform
Salat in the Prophet's mosque and their rows were at the end of the gathering. There was no gallery nor a separate
section for them. Thus, for men the best place for performing Salat in congregation is the first row because it is
farthest from women. The best place for women in Salat in congregation is the last row because it is farthest from
men. On the contrary, the last row of men was near the first row of women and for this reason it was regarded as the
worst one. Every row of the people performing Salat is good but due to the reason just mentioned, the first row of
men and the last row of women are more meritorious, while the last row of men and the first row of women have a
lesser merit.
