Going To The Masjid Early For Prayers
The Prophet ﷺ said: “If people know how much they could benefit from the Athan (call to prayer) and being among those standing in the first row in their prayers, … And if they know how much bounty they get in arriving early to the mosque, they would compete for it. And if they know much beneficence in Fajr (dawn) and Isha (evening) prayers they would even go creeping.”
