Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رِوَايَةً خَيْرُ صُفُوفِ الرِّجَالِ أَوَّلُهَا وَشَرُّهَا آخِرُهَا وَخَيْرُ صُفُوفِ النِّسَاءِ آخِرُهَا وَشَرُّ صُفُوفِ النِّسَاءِ أَوَّلُهَا.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'If any one of you performs ablution well, then goes to the mosque with no other purpose than prayer, Allah raises him a degree with each step and erases a sin with each step until he enters the mosque. When he enters the mosque, he is considered to be in prayer as long as the prayer is keeping him there.'
