(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ
ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ
أَنَسٍ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " اسْتَوُوا ، اسْتَوُوا ، فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَاكُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِي ، كَمَا أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the prayer was established, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards us and said, "Straighten your rows and stand close together, for I see you from behind me as well."
