حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ فَإِنَّ تَسْوِيَةَ الصُّفُوفِ مِنْ إِقَامَةِ الصَّلَاةِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Straighten your rows as the straightening of rows is essential for a perfect and correct prayer.”

আনাস (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত যে, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ তোমরা তোমাদের কাতারগুলো সোজা করে নিবে, কেননা, কাতার সোজা করা সালাতের সৌন্দর্যের অন্তর্ভুক্ত। (মুসলিম ৪/২৮, হাঃ ৪৩৩, আহমাদ ১২৮১৩)

ہم سے ابوالولید ہشام بن عبدالملک نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم کو شعبہ نے قتادہ کے واسطہ سے خبر دی، انہوں نے انس رضی اللہ عنہ سے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ صفیں برابر رکھو کیونکہ صفوں کا برابر رکھنا نماز کے قائم کرنے میں داخل ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Al Walid] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Qatadah] dari [Anas bin Malik] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Luruskanlah shaf kalian, karena lurusnya shaf adalah bagian dari ditegakkannya shalat

Enes İbn Malik (r.a.) Resûlullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in şöyle buyurduğunu nakletmiştir: Safları iyice düzeltin. Çünkü safları düzeltmek namazın tam anlamıyla ikâmeedildiğini gösteren unsurlardan biridir." باب: إثم من لم يتم الصفوف. 75. Safları Düzgün Tutmamak Bir Günahtır

Sahih al-Bukhari 723, Book 10, Call to Prayers (Adhaan), Hadith 117. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commands those who perform the prayer to straighten their rows, not being forward or backward from the row, and that straightening the rows is part of the completion and perfection of the prayer, whereas the crookedness of the row is a flaw and deficiency in the prayer.

What it teaches

  • Permissibility of paying attention to whatever leads to perfecting the prayer and keeps it far from deficiency.
  • Wisdom of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in teaching as he joined the ruling with its cause to clarify the rationale behind the legislation and encourage people to comply.
