Bara’ bin 'Azib said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Allah and the angels send blessings upon the first row.’"
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us this lesson through his words and actions as he was known for always being at the front of his followers during prayer time. He wanted to set an example for us on how important it is to be at the front during prayer time so that we can receive these special blessings from Allah and His angels. He also wanted us to understand that even though being at the front is important, it does not mean anything if our hearts are not focused on worshipping Him sincerely with humility and love.
