Bayhaqi 2292 — The imam does not say the takbir until he orders
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ الْعَدْلُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ " يَأْمُرُ بِتَسْوِيَةِ الصُّفُوفِ، فَإِذَا جَاءُوهُ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنْ قَدِ اسْتَوَتْ كَبَّرَ ".
It is narrated from Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) used to order that the rows be levelled (that is, he would assign some men the duty of straightening the rows), and when those men came and informed him that the rows had become straight, then he would say the takbir.
