حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ حَدَّثَنِي سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ أَوْ الصُّفُوفِ الْأُوَلِ.

Zayd ibn al-Hubab narrated to us: Husayn ibn Waqid narrated to me: Simak ibn Harb narrated to me, from al-Nu'man ibn Bashir, who said: I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Indeed Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and His angels send blessings upon the first row, or the first rows.
