(كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا وَيَأْمُرُ بِاسْتِقَامِ الصُّفُوفِ)
(The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would look right and left and order the rows to be straightened)
Hadith 1098
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ: «اعْتَدِلُوا سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ» . وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ: «اعْتَدِلُوا سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُ
Anas told how God’s Messenger used to say to those on his right, ‘‘Keep straight and straighten your rows," and say the same to those on his left. Abu Dawud transmitted it.
