Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 2652 — on urging the straightening and closing
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((سَوُّوا (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: أَتِمُّوا) صُفُوفَكُمْ فَإِنَّ تَسْوِيَةَ الصُّفُوفِ مِنْ تَمَامِ الصَّلَاةِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Straighten your rows and (according to one narration) complete them, for indeed straightening the rows is part of the perfection of prayer.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The clear implication of this hadith is that a deficiency in the row will necessarily result in a deficiency in the prayer.
