قَالَ لِيَكُنِ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَ الْإِمَامَ أُولِي الْأَحْلَامِ مِنْكُمْ وَ النُّهَى فَإِنْ نَسِيَ الْإِمَامُ أَوْ تَعَايَا قَوَّمُوهُ وَ أَفْضَلُ الصُّفُوفِ أَوَّلُهَا وَ أَفْضَلُ أَوَّلِهَا مَا دَنَا مِنَ الْإِمَامِ وَ فَضْلُ صَلَاةِ الْجَمَاعَةِ عَلَى صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ فَذّاً خَمْسٌ وَ عِشْرُونَ دَرَجَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Washa, from Al Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Jabir, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Let those who are behind the Imam be the most forbearing and intelligent of you. So if the Imam were to forget or get tired, they can straighten (correct) him; and the most superior of the rows is its first one, and the most superior of it is what is nearest to the Imam, and the superiority of the <span class="iTxt">Jam’at</span>al <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> over the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> of the lone man is twenty five Levels in the Paradise’.
