Musnad Abi Ya'la 3291 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say two
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، وَحُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَانَ يَقُولُ : اسْتَوُوا - مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا - وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، إِنِّي لَأَرَاكُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِي كَمَا أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ . وَزَادَ حُمَيْدٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ : اسْتَوُوا وَتَرَاصُّوا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say two or three times: "Istawu" (Straighten up), and along with that he would say: "By the One in whose hand is my soul! I certainly see you from behind me just as I see you in front of me." Humayd (may Allah have mercy on him) added these words in the hadith, that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: "Istawu wa tarassu" (Straighten up and stand close together, joined to one another).
