Riyad as-Salihin, 1093
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Fill (complete) the first row, then the one next to it; and if there is any deficiency (incompleteness), it should be in the last row." <b>[Abu Dawud]</b>.
وعنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
أتموا الصف المقدم، ثم الذي يليه، فما كان من نقص فليكن في الصف المؤخر
. ((رواه أبو داود بإسناد حسن)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) If a person stands in the second row before the first is completed, he would be neglecting the Prophet’s guidance and Sunnah.<br>
2) The Shariah cares for the completion of the rows of worshipers, which trains the believers to be close to one another.
