حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَالِمَ بْنَ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لَتُسَوُّنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِكُمْ ".
An-Nu'man bin Bashir Narrated from:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Straighten your rows or Allah will alter your faces."
[1] This is a severe warning, that if you do not straighten your rows [in Salāt (prayers)], Allāh may change your faces to that of an animal, e.g., donkey etc., or make them like the backs of necks etc. [See Fath Al-Bārī , Vol.2, P.349].Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 717In-book reference : Book 10, Hadith 112USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 1, Book 11, Hadith 685
