tabarani:7085Samurah b. Jundub

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to instruct the Muhajireen and the Ansar to be at the forefront of the rows (during prayer) and he would say, 'They are more knowledgeable about prayer than the Bedouins and the ignorant ones. Others should follow them, and I do not prefer that the Bedouins be in front of them, as they do not know how to pray.'"  

الطبراني:٧٠٨٥وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا فِي مُقَدَّمِ الصُّفُوفِ وَيَقُولُ «هُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِالصَّلَاةِ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ وَالسُّفَهَاءِ وَيَأْتَمُّ بِهِمْ مَنْ وَرَاءَهُمْ وَلَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْأَعْرَابُ قُدَّامَهُمْ لَا يَدْرُونَ كَيْفَ الصَّلَاةُ»
