"سوُّوا صُفُوفَكُم، لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا فَتَخْتَلِف قُلُوبُكُمْ، إِنَّ الله، وملَائِكَتَهُ يُصلُّون علَى الصَّفَّ الأَوَّلِ، - وقَال: الصُّفُوفُ - ومن مُنح مُنيحةَ ورقٍ أَو لَبنٍ أَوْ هُدى زُقَاقًا فَهُو عِدْلُ رقَبةٍ".

Collected by Abū Dāwūd, Nasāʾī, Aḥmad, Ḥākim, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Bayhaqī, SuyūṭīThe Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pass through the row from one side to the other; he used to set out chests and shoulders in order, and say: Do not be irregular. And he would say: Allah and His angels bless those who are near the first rows.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتَخَلَّلُ الصَّفَّ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ يَمْسَحُ صُدُورَنَا وَمَنَاكِبَنَا وَيَقُولُ لاَ تَخْتَلِفُوا فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلاَئِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الصُّفُوفِ الأُوَلِ
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to go between the rows from one side to another, patting our shoulders and chests and saying: 'Do not make your rows ragged or your hearts will be filled with enmity toward one another.' And he used to say: 'Allah and His angels send Salah upon the front rows."'
