• Highlighting the merit of the Adhān.
• Highlighting the merit of the first row and being near to the Imam.
• Emphasizing the merit of hastening to prayer at its recommended early time due to its great merit and numerous benefits. These include: attaining the first row, joining the prayer from its beginning, performing the supererogatory prayer, reciting the Qur’an, the angels' seeking forgiveness for him, and being regarded as in prayer while waiting for the prayer, among other rewards.
• Strongly encouraging the attendance of the congregational prayer of these two prayers, and the abundant reward associated with this due to the hardship they contain on the soul by disturbing both the beginning and end of one's sleep. For this reason, they are the heaviest prayers for the hypocrites.
• An-Nawawi said: This proves the validity of drawing lots in rights that are contested or where there is competition over them.
• The second row is better than the third, and the third is better than the fourth and so on.
