An-Nu‘mān ibn Bashīr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Straighten your rows or Allah will cause dissension amongst you.'' In another narration: "The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to straighten our rows, as if he was straightening arrows, until he saw that we had learned it from him.

One day he came out, stood for prayer and was about to say 'Allah Akbar' (to start the prayer) when he saw a man whose chest was bulging out from the row. So he said: 'Slaves of Allah, either you straighten your rows or Allah will cause dissension amongst you.'"

Source textOriginal Arabic
عن النعمان بن بشير رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «لَتُسَوُّنَّ صُفُوفَكُم أو لَيُخَالِفَنَّ الله بين وُجُوهِكُم». وفي رواية: «كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يُسَوِّي صُفُوفَنَا، حتى كَأَنَّمَا يُسَوِّي بها القِدَاح، حتَّى إِذَا رأى أَنْ قد عَقَلْنَا عَنهُ، ثم خَرَج يومًا فَقَام، حتَّى إِذَا كاد أن يُكَبِّرُ، فَرَأَى رَجُلاً بَادِيًا صَدرُهُ، فقال: عِبَادَ الله، لَتُسَوُّنَّ صُفُوفَكُم أو لَيُخَالِفَنَّ الله بين وُجُوهِكُم».
