Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would turn towards us and say: Straighten your rows. He would say this three times (then he would say:) Either you straighten your rows or Allah will create discord among you. The narrator says: I saw that every person would join his ankle with the ankle of the one next to him and his shoulder with the shoulder of his companion. The narrator named Abu al-Qasim al-Jadali’s name is Husayn bin Harith. He belonged to Jadilah Qais and was a trustworthy narrator from Kufa.
