Sahih al-Bukhari 615, Sahih Muslim 437
The first row
لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ مَا فِي النِّدَاءِ وَالصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْتَهِمُوا عَلَيْهِ لَاسْتَهَمُوا
Law ya'lamu-n-nasu ma fi-n-nida'i wa-s-saffi-l-awwal, thumma lam yajidu illa an yastahimu alayhi la-stahamu.
If the people knew what reward is in the call to prayer and the first row, and they could only obtain it by drawing lots, they would draw lots.
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah.
