حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ زُهَيْرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيَّ وَأَبُو عَامِرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَحْسِنُوا إِقَامَةَ الصُّفُوفِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ خَيْرُ صُفُوفِ الرِّجَالِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ أَوَّلُهَا وَشَرُّهَا آخِرُهَا وَخَيْرُ صُفُوفِ النِّسَاءِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ آخِرُهَا وَشَرُّهَا أَوَّلُهَا.
English Translation
'Abd al-Rahman told us, from Zuhayr - that is, ibn Muhammad al-Khurasani; and Abu 'Amir said: Zuhayr told us, from al-'Ala', from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Straighten your rows well in prayer. The best of the men's rows in prayer is the first of them, and the worst is the last of them; and the best of the women's rows in prayer is the last of them, and the worst is the first of them."
