Hadith of Jabir bin Samurah al-Suwa'i, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7474 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came into the mosque
وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ : دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْمَسْجِدَ ، فَقَالَ : أَلَا تَصُفُّونَ كَمَا تَصُفُّ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ ؟ قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ! وَكَيْفَ تَصُفُّ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ ؟ قَالَ : يُتِمُّونَ الصُّفُوفَ الْأُوَلَ ، وَيَتَرَاصُّونَ فِي الصَّفِّ قَالَ : وَخَرَجَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَهُمْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حِلَقٌ ، فَقَالَ : مَا لِي أَرَاهُمْ عِزِينَ ؟ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came into the mosque and said: "Will you not form rows as the angels form rows before their Lord?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: O Messenger of Allah! How do the angels form rows before their Lord? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They first complete the front rows, and they stand close together in the row." The narrator said: Once he (peace and blessings be upon him) came into the mosque while the people were sitting in separate circles; he (peace and blessings be upon him) (on seeing them) said: "Why is it that I see you scattered in separate groups?"
