[Machine] "Abdullah and I believe that I have heard him say that Ibn Wahb narrated to us, who said that Jarir ibn Hazim said, 'I heard Abu Ishaq al-Hamdani say that Abdur Rahman ibn Awsajah narrated to me from Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib who said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to us and wipe our shoulders and chests, and he would say, 'Do not differ in your rows, for if you differ, your hearts will differ. Verily, Allah and His angels send Salah (blessings) upon the first row or the first rows.'"  

أحمد:١٨٦٢١حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ قَالَ

عَبْدُ اللهِ وَأَظُنُّ أَنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيَّ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْسَجَةَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْتِينَا فَيَمْسَحُ عَوَاتِقَنَا وَصُدُورَنَا وَيَقُولُ لَا تَخْتَلِفْ صُفُوفُكُمْ فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ أَوِ الصُّفُوفِ الْأُولَى
