DELAYING

1102

“The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, perceived a tendency among his Companions to stand in back rows. He told them, ‘Come forward and be close to me and let those who come after be close to you. If people continue to delay, Allah will delay them.’"

Muslim with a chain up to Abu Sa'id Khudri who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
