حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ مُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، فَقَالَ: " مَا لِي أَرَاكُمْ رَافِعِي أَيْدِيكُمْ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ خَيْلٍ شُمْسٍ، اسْكُنُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ "، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا فَرَآنَا حِلَقًا، فَقَالَ: " مَا لِي أَرَاكُمْ عِزِينَ "، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا، فَقَالَ: " أَلَا تَصُفُّونَ كَمَا تَصُفُّ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهَا؟ "، قَالَ: قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ تَصُفُّ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهَا؟ قَالَ: " يُتِمُّونَ الصُّفُوفَ الْأُولَى، وَيَتَرَاصُّونَ فِي الصَّفِّ " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the mosque and saw some people raising their hands. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: What is the matter with these people that they gesture with their hands as if they are the tails of unruly horses? Remain calm in prayer. Then once the Prophet (ﷺ) came to us and said: What is the matter that I see you divided into different groups? (At that time the companions were sitting in this manner.) Then one day the Prophet (ﷺ) came out and said to us: Why do you not align your rows as the angels align before their Lord? The companions asked: O Messenger of Allah, how do the angels align before their Lord? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: They complete the front rows first and fill the gaps in the rows.
