Excellence of Prayer Rows for Men and Women

The Prophet ﷺ explained the virtue of prayer rows: for men, the first row is best, while for women, the last row holds the highest merit, emphasizing proper placement in congregational prayer.

Hadith
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The best of the men's rows (in Salat) is the first row and the worst is the last; but the best of the woman's row is the last and the worst of their rows is the first."
