Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَزَالُ قَوْمٌ يَتَأَخَّرُونَ عَنِ الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ حَتَّى يُؤَخِّرَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي النَّارِ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “People will keep hanging back from the front row until Allah puts them behind in the Fire.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed

  • The Arabic explicitly says “in the Fire”; this is retained rather than the English witness wording “a back place in hell.”
