Sunan an-Nasai 820 (Book 10, Hadith 44) #15428
The Best Rows in Congregational Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that the best rows for men in congregational prayer are the front rows and the worst are the last, and for women, it is vice versa.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'The best rows for men are the front rows and the worst are the last, and the best rows for women are the back rows and the worst are those in the front"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ خَيْرُ صُفُوفِ الرِّجَالِ أَوَّلُهَا وَشَرُّهَا آخِرُهَا وَخَيْرُ صُفُوفِ النِّسَاءِ آخِرُهَا وَشَرُّهَا أَوَّلُهَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray in congregation with respect for gender roles and prioritize duties as Muslims .

EXPLANATIONS:
In Islam, congregational prayer is an important part of worship. It is a collective act of worship where Muslims come together to pray at a mosque or any other designated place. According to this hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, Prophet Muhammad taught that when praying in congregation, men should occupy the front rows while women should occupy the back rows. This arrangement ensures that men and women can focus on their prayers without any distractions from each other. Furthermore, it also teaches us to prioritize our duties as Muslims; men should take precedence over women when it comes to occupying positions of honor such as leading prayers or occupying front rows during congregational prayer.
