Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يُسَوِّينَا فِي الصُّفُوفِ، كَمَا تُقَوَّمُ الْقِدَاحُ، حَتَّى ظَنَّ أَنَّا قَدْ أَخَذْنَا ذَلِكَ عَنْهُ، وَفَهِمْنَاهُ، وَأَقْبَلَ (٢) ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بِوَجْهِهِ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مُنْتَبِذٌ بِصَدْرِهِ، فَقَالَ: " لَتُسَوُّنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ، أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللهُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِكُمْ " (٣)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Nu’man (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) used to straighten the rows (in prayer) just as arrows are straightened in our rows. Once, when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) intended to say the takbeer, he saw that a man’s chest was protruding out. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Keep your rows straight, otherwise Allah will create discord among you.”
