Musnad Abi Ya'la 3858 — after the iqamah for the prayer had been
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ أَنْ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ ، أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ بِوَجْهِهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَتَرَاصُّوا ، فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِي ، قَالَ : فَلَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَى الرَّجُلَ فِي الصَّفِّ وَهُوَ يُلْزِقُ مَنْكِبَهُ بِمَنْكِبِ صَاحِبِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the iqamah for the prayer had been called and before saying the opening takbir, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his blessed face towards the people and said: "Straighten your rows and stand close together, for I see you from behind my back." Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "And indeed I saw that every man in the row would join his shoulder to the shoulder of his companion."
