بَابُ الْحَثِّ عَلَى تَسْوِيَةِ الصُّفُوفِ وَرَصِّهَا وَبَيَانِ خَيْرِهَا مِنْ شَرِّهَاChapter on urging the straightening and closing of the rows and clarifying the best and worst of them
Hadith 2648
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((رُصُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَقَارِبُوا بَيْنَهَا وَحَاذُوا بِالْأَعْنَاقِ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ! إِنِّي لَأَرَى الشَّيَاطِينَ تَدْخُلُ مِنْ خَلَلِ الصُّفُوفِ كَأَنَّهَا الْحَذَفُ))
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Join your rows, bring them close together, and align your necks (in a straight line). By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad! Indeed, I see the devils slipping into the gaps between the rows just as if they were black sheep without hair.
