وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ اَلْخُدْرِيِّ - رضى الله عنه - { أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -رَأَى فِي أَصْحَابِهِ تَأَخُّرًا. فَقَالَ: } رَوَاهُ مُسْلِم ٌ 1 .
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."
