Hadith 2641
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُقْبِلُ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ فَيَقُولُ: ((تَرَاصُّوا (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَتَرَاصُّوا) وَاعْتَدِلُوا فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِي))
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Before saying the opening Takbir, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would turn towards us and say: Join together firmly (and in one narration: straighten your rows and join together), and be aligned, for indeed I see you from behind me.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar radi Allahu anhu narrates that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “Straighten the rows, align the shoulders, fill the gaps, be gentle with the hands of your brothers, and do not leave spaces for Shaytan. Whoever joins a row, Allah will join him, and whoever cuts off a row, Allah will cut him off.” (Abu Dawud) That is: “Straighten the rows, align the shoulders, fill the gaps, be gentle towards your brothers, do not leave empty spaces (in the row) for Shaytan, whoever joins the row, Allah will join him, and whoever cuts the row, Allah will cut him off.”
