Hadith of al-Nu‘man ibn Bashir from the Prophet (peace be upon him)
Musnad Ahmad 18427 — Hadith of al-Nu‘man ibn Bashir from the Prophet
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْز ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسَوِّينَا فِي الصُّفُوفِ ، كَمَا تُقَوَّمُ الْقِدَاحُ ، حَتَّى ظَنَّ أَنَّا قَدْ أَخَذْنَا ذَلِكَ عَنْهُ ، وَفَهِمْنَاهُ ، أَقْبَلَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بِوَجْهِهِ ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مُنْتَبِذٌ بِصَدْرِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " لَتُسَوُّنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ ، أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِكُمْ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Nu’man (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to straighten the rows (in prayer) just as arrows are straightened in our rows. Once, when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to say the takbeer, he saw that a man’s chest was protruding out. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Keep your rows straight, otherwise Allah will create discord among you.”
