[Machine] "And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Establish the rows in prayer; for indeed, the straightness of the rows is a part of the beauty of prayer.'"  

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَقِيمُوا الصَّفَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؛ فَإِنَّ إِقَامَةَ الصَّفِّ مِنْ حُسْنِ الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Straighten your rows, for straightening the rows is part of perfecting the prayer."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ؛ فَإِنَّ تَسْوِيَةَ الصَّفِّ مِنْ تَمَامِ الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Straighten your rows, for I see you behind my back."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَقِيمُوا الصُّفُوفَ؛ فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِي  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Stand close together in your rows, bring them near one another, and stand neck to neck, for by Him in Whose hand my soul is, I see the devil coming in through openings in the row just like a small black sheep. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 667)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ رُصُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَقَارِبُوا بَيْنَهَا وَحَاذُوا بِالْأَعْنَاقِ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى الشَّيْطَانَ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ خَلَلِ الصَّفِّ كَأَنَّهَا الْحَذَفُ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Straighten your rows in your prayers or Allah will cause discord among your faces."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَتُسَوُّنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللهُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِكُمْ  

[Machine] I heard him saying that the Prophet ﷺ used to straighten the rows and he saw a man standing outside the row, so he said, "Either you straighten your rows or Allah will cause division among your faces on the Day of Resurrection."  

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَوِّي الصُّفُوفَ فَرَأَى رَجُلًا خَارِجًا مِنَ الصَّفِّ فَقَالَ لَتُقِيمُنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللهُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to straighten the rows like shaft of an arrow is straightened before the head is attached to it. He saw a man whose chest was sticking out from the row. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Make your rows straight or Allah will cause your faces to be deformed." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 810)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُقَوِّمُ الصُّفُوفَ كَمَا يُقَوَّمُ الْقِدَاحُ فَأَبْصَرَ رَجُلًا يَوْمًا خَارِجًا صَدْرُهُ مِنَ الصَّفِّ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَتُقَوِّمُنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللهُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِكُمْ  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid attention to the people and said three times; straighten your rows (in prayer); by Allah, you must straighten your rows, or Allah will certainly put your faces in contrary directions. I then saw that every person stood in prayer keeping his shoulder close to that of the other, and his knee close to that of the other, and his ankle close to that of the other. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 662)   

سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ ثَلَاثًا وَاللهِ لَتُقِيمُنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللهُ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ يُلْزِقُ مَنْكِبَهُ بِمَنْكِبِ صَاحِبِهِ وَرُكْبَتَهُ بِرُكْبَةِ صَاحِبِهِ وَكَعْبَهُ بِكَعْبِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Arrange yourselves in rows and do not let the offspring of the heap separate you." It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what are the offspring of the heap?" He said, "They are black-skinned, naked sheep found in the land of Yemen." Hafs ibn Ghayath narrated this from Al-Hasan ibn Ubayd Allah and said, "Like the offspring of the heap."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَرَاصُّوا فِي الصَّفِّ لَا يَتَخَلَّلُكُمْ أَوْلَادُ الْحَذَفِ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا أَوْلَادُ الْحَذَفِ؟ قَالَ ضَأْنٌ جُرْدٌ سُودٌ تَكُونُ بِأَرْضِ الْيَمَنِ وَرَوَاهُ حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ وَقَالَ كَأَوْلَادِ الْحَذَفِ  

[Machine] "About the Prophet ﷺ, he ordered them to straighten the rows, so do not allow gaps amongst you like the young ones of camels. And the young ones of camels are black, skinny, and found in Yemen."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ أَمَرَهُمْ بِرَصِّ الصُّفُوفِ لَا يَتَخَلَّلُكُمْ كَأَوْلَادِ الْحَذَفِ وَأَوْلَادُ الْحَذَفِ غَنْمٌ سُودٌ جُرْدٌ تَكُونُ بِالْيَمَنِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Set the rows in order, stand shoulder to shoulder, close the gaps, be pliant in the hands of your brethren, and do not leave openings for the devil. If anyone joins up a row, Allah will join him up, but if anyone breaks a row, Allah will cut him off. Abu Dawud said: The name of Abu Shjrah is Kathir b. Murrah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 666)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَقِيمُوا الصُّفُوفَ وَحَاذُوا بَيْنَ الْمَنَاكِبِ وَسُدُّوا الْخَلَلَ وَلِينُوا بِأَيْدِي إِخْوَانِكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُوا فُرُجَاتٍ لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَمَنْ وَصَلَ صَفًّا وَصَلَهُ اللهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَ صَفًّا قَطَعَهُ اللهُ ﷻ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ لَمْ يَقُلْ عِيسَى بِأَيْدِي إِخْوَانِكُمْ  

[Machine] Narrated Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, Allah and His angels send blessings upon those who join the rows (in congregational prayer)."  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ الصُّفُوفَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "The best among you are those who are gentle in their prayer." Zaid ibn Aslam also narrated this from the Prophet, ﷺ , as a mursal hadith.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خِيَارُكُمْ أَلْيَنُكُمْ مَنَاكِبَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُرْسَلًا
