(كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَوِّي الصُّفُوفَ قَبْلَ بَدْءِ الصَّلَاةِ)
(The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to straighten the rows before starting prayer)
Hadith 1097
وَعَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسَوِّي صُفُوفَنَا إِذَا قُمْنَا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَإِذَا اسَتْوَيْنَا كَبَّرَ. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
An-Nu‘man b. Bashir said:God’s Messenger used to straighten our rows when we stood up to pray, and when we were straight he said, “God is most great." Abu Dawud transmitted it.
