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 صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَتُسَوُّنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِكُمْ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Straighten your rows or Allah will alter your faces.”

নু‘মান ইবনু বশীর (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমরা অবশ্যই কাতার সোজা করে নিবে, তা না হলে আল্লাহ্ তা‘আলা তোমাদের মাঝে মতভেদ সৃষ্টি করে দিবেন। (মুসলিম ৪/২৮, হাঃ ৪৩৬, আহমাদ ১৮৪১৭)

ہم سے ابوالولید ہشام بن عبدالملک نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے شعبہ نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ مجھ سے عمرو بن مرہ نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ میں نے سالم بن ابوالجعد سے سنا، انہوں نے کہا کہ میں نے نعمان بن بشیر رضی اللہ عنہ سے سنا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا۔ نماز میں اپنی صفوں کو برابر کر لو، نہیں تو اللہ تعالیٰ تمہارا منہ الٹ دے گا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Al Walid Hisyam bin 'Abdul Malik] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepadaku ['Amru bin Murrah] berkata, Aku mendengar [Salim bin Abu Al Ja'd] berkata, Aku mendengar [An Nu'man bin Basyir] berkata, "Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Luruskanlah shaf kalian, atau Allah akan memalingkan wajah-wajah kalian

Nu'mân İbn Beşîr Resûlullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in şöyle buyurduğunu nakletmiştir: "Ya saflarınızı iyice düzeltirsiniz veya Allah (C.C.) yüzlerinizi tersine çevirecektir

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) emphasized that if the rows are not straightened in the prayer, Allah will cause dissension amongst the worshippers, thus making them turn their faces away from each other. This occurs when some of them step forward and leave gaps in the rows. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to teach his companions with his words and actions.

He straightened them with his hands until he thought that they had learned. Then in a prayer, he saw one of his companions with his chest sticking out from the row. This made him angry and he said: ''Straighten your rows, or Allah will cause dissension amongst you.''
