Musnad Abi Ya'la 3213 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Keep your rows
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَنَسٌ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ ، فَإِنَّ تَسْوِيَةَ الصَّفِّ مِنْ تَمَامِ الصَّلَاةِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : دَاهَنْتُ فِي هَذَا ، لَمْ أَسْأَلْ قَتَادَةَ : سَمِعَهُ أَمْ لَا ؟ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Keep your rows straight, for making the rows even is part of the perfection of the prayer." Imam Abu Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I was somewhat lax in this narration and did not ask Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) whether he heard it directly or not.
