Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA):

When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw a tendency among his Companions of going to the back he said, "Come forward and follow my lead and let those behind you follow you." [Reported by Muslim].

وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ اَلْخُدْرِيِّ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-رَأَى فِي أَصْحَابِهِ تَأَخُّرًا.‏ فَقَالَ:

تَقَدَّمُوا فَائْتَمُّوا بِي, وَلْيَأْتَمَّ بِكُمْ مَنْ بَعْدَكُمْ

} رَوَاهُ مُسْلِم ٌ [1]‏ .‏
