[Machine] "To give me a foothold, while I continued to speak to him, he smoothed the gravel with his sandals until some men approached him, whom he had appointed to level the rows. They informed him that the rows had been made even, so he told me to stand in the row and then he raised his voice."

malik:9-52Mālik > ʿAmmih Abū Suhayl b. Mālik from his father

Yahya related to me from Malik from his paternal uncle, Abu Suhayl ibn Malik, that his father said, "I was with Uthman ibn Affan when the iqama was said for the prayer and I was talking to him about being assigned a definite allowance by him. I continued talking to him while he was levelling some small stones with his sandals, and then some men that he had entrusted to straighten the rows came and told him that the rows were straight. He said to me, 'Line up in the row,' and then he said the takbir."

" عن أبى سهيل بن مالك، عن أبيه قال: كنت مع عثمان بن عفان فأقيمت الصلاة وأنا أكلمه في أن يفرض لى، فلم أزل أكلمه وهو يسوى الحصباء بنعله حتى جاء رجال قد وكلهم بتسوية الصفوف، فأخبروه أن الصفوف قد استوت، فقال: اسْتَوفِى الصف؟ ثم كبر ".
