Narrated Al-Bara ibn Azib: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pass through the row from one side to the other; he used to set out chests and shoulders in order, and say: Do not be irregular. And he would say: Allah and His angels bless those who are near the first rows.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، وَأَبُو عَاصِمِ بْنُ جَوَّاسٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ الْيَامِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْسَجَةَ ، عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ، قَالَ : "

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَخَلَّلُ الصَّفَّ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ يَمْسَحُ صُدُورَنَا وَمَنَاكِبَنَا ، وَيَقُولُ : لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الصُّفُوفِ الْأُوَلِ
