النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ ، يَقُولُ : أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِوَجْهِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ ، ثَلاثًا ، وَاللَّهِ لَتُقِيمُنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ " ، قَالَ : فَرَأَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ يَكُونُ كَعْبُهُ بِكَعْبِ صَاحِبِهِ ، وَرُكْبَتُهُ بِرُكْبَةِ صَاحِبِهِ ، وَمَنْكِبُهُ بِمَنْكِبِ صَاحِبِهِ . هَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ وَكِيعٍ . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الْجَدَلِيُّ هَذَا هُوَ حُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ مِنْ جَدِيلَةَ قَيْسٍ ، رَوَى عَنْهُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، وَأَبُو مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيُّ ، وَحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ ، وَعَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ ، عِدَادُهُ فِي الْكُوفِيِّينَ ، وَفِي هَذَا الْخَبَرِ مَا نَفَى الشَّكَّ وَالارْتِيَابَ أَنَّ الْكَعْبَ هُوَ الْعَظْمُ النَّاتِئُ الَّذِي فِي جَانِبِ الْقَدَمِ ، الَّذِي يُمْكِنُ الْقَائِمُ فِي الصَّلاةِ أَنْ يَلْزَقَهُ بِكَعْبِ مَنْ هُوَ قَائِمٌ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فِي الصَّلاةِ ، وَالْعِلْمُ مُحِيطٌ عِنْدَ مَنْ رُكِّبَ فِيهِ الْعَقْلُ أَنَّ الْمُصَلِّينَ إِذَا قَامُوا فِي الصَّفِّ ، لَمْ يُمْكِنْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمُ إِلْصَاقَ ظَهْرِ قَدَمِهِ بِظَهْرِ قَدِمَ غَيْرِهِ ، وَهَذَا غَيْرُ مُمْكِنٍ ، وَمَا كَوْنُهُ غَيْرَ مُمْكِنٍ لَمْ يَتَوَهَّمْ عَاقِلٌ كَوْنَهُ
Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his blessed face towards us and said: “Straighten your rows.” He said it three times: “By Allah, you must straighten your rows, otherwise Allah will create discord among your hearts.” (Nu’man says) that (in compliance with his command) I saw that a man’s ankle would be touching his companion’s ankle, his knee with his companion’s knee, and his shoulder with his companion’s shoulder. These are the words of Waki’s narration. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that this was narrated by Abu Qasim, Husayn bin Hajjaj bin Arta’ah of the Qais tribe, and ‘Ata bin Sa’ib. Abu Qasim is counted among the Kufan narrators. In this hadith, there is such evidence that removes all doubt and suspicion that the ankle is the protruding bone on the side of the foot, which the one praying can join with the ankle of the person standing next to him in prayer. Among intelligent people, it is accepted that when worshippers stand in a row, it is not possible for any of them to join the upper part of his foot with the upper part of another person’s foot; this is impossible. Therefore, what is impossible, an intelligent person does not consider it possible.
