ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ الْمَأْمُومِينَ بِتَسْوِيَةِ الصُّفُوفِ عِنْدَ قِيَامِهِمِ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ
[Machine] "Do you know what this is?" We said, "No". He said, "Indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he stood up for prayer, would take hold of his right side, then turn around and say, 'Straighten your rows, align your rows.' Then he would take hold of his left side, and say, 'Straighten your rows, align your rows.' When the mosque was demolished, Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, searched for it and found that it was taken by the sons of Amr ibn Awf. They had placed it in their mosque, so he took it back and returned it."
تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا الْعُودُ؟ قُلْنَا لَا قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ أَخَذَ بِيَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَقَالَ «اعْتَدِلُوا سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ» ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَسَارِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اعْتَدِلُوا سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ» فَلَمَّا هُدِمَ الْمَسْجِدُ فُقِدَ فَالْتَمَسَهُ عُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ أَخَذَهُ بَنُو عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَجَعَلُوهُ فِي مَسْجِدِهِمْ فَانْتَزَعَهُ فَأَعَادَهُ
