أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ ، لَمَّا زَادَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ غَفَلُوا عَنِ الْعُودِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ : أَتَدْرُونَ لأَيِّ شَيْءٍ جُعِلَ ذَلِكَ الْعُودُ ؟ فَقَالُوا : لا . فَقَالَ : إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاةُ ، أَخَذَ الْعُودَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ ، فَقَالَ : " اعْدِلُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَاسْتَوُوا " ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ ، فَقَالَ : " اعْدِلُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ " .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) expanded the Prophet’s Mosque, people became heedless of the piece of wood that was present in the direction of the qiblah. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Do you know why that piece of wood was placed there? The people replied: No, we do not. So he informed them: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), after the iqamah was called for prayer, would take that piece of wood in his blessed right hand and then, turning to the right side, would say: Straighten and align your rows. Then he would take it in his blessed left hand and, turning to the left side, would say: Straighten your rows.
