Musnad of Anas bin Malik
Musnad Abi Ya'la 3720 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Be balanced
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اعْتَدِلُوا فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ وَتَرَاصُّوا ، فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِي .
قَالَ أَنَسٌ : لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَحَدَنَا يُلْزِقُ مَنْكِبَهُ بِمَنْكِبِ صَاحِبِهِ ، وَقَدَمَهُ بِقَدَمِهِ ، وَلَوْ ذَهَبْتَ تَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ لَتَرَى أَحَدَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ بَغْلٌ شَمُوسٌ .
قَالَ أَنَسٌ : لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَحَدَنَا يُلْزِقُ مَنْكِبَهُ بِمَنْكِبِ صَاحِبِهِ ، وَقَدَمَهُ بِقَدَمِهِ ، وَلَوْ ذَهَبْتَ تَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ لَتَرَى أَحَدَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ بَغْلٌ شَمُوسٌ .
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: "Be balanced in your prayers and stand closely packed together (in the rows), for I see you even from behind my back." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said (describing the situation of a later time): "I saw (in the time of the Prophet) each one of us join his shoulder to his companion's shoulder and his foot to his foot, and if you tried to do that today, you would find one of them (shying away) as though he were a stubborn mule."
