    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Hijr – Verse 24

    And We certainly know those who advance [31] among you, and We certainly know those who delay [32].

    ✅ [31] The Virtue of Being in the First Row

    Reason for its revelation:

    After the Holy Prophet ﷺ had explained the virtues of being in the first rows in Salaah, all the Noble Companions showed great desire to stand therein. Some companions even decided to sell their homes and purchase ones near the mosque so they could come at the earliest time to secure a place in the first row.

    Seeing this zeal, the Holy Prophet ﷺ said to remain in your places because Allah Almighty is fully aware of your intentions and will reward you for it. The above verse was revealed on this occasion.

    Its meaning is that those muqtadees (followers) who stand in the first row are known to Allah Almighty, while those who were powerless to be in it are also within the knowledge of Allah Almighty (Tafseer Roohul Bayaan).

    Some hypocrites would stand in the last row so that they could get the opportunity of peeping at the women standing behind in Ruku. The latter part of the verse was revealed concerning them (Roohul Bayaan).

    ✅ [32] The Reward of Effort in Salaah

    From this, we learn that it is an excellent act to make an effort to get early to the mosque for the five Daily Prayers to obtain a place in the first row. However, for Salatul Janazah, it is better to stand in the last row, while standing in the first row for other Salaahs has greater merit, as stated in the Hadith Shareef.
