And we want to unite the Ummah whereas we cannot even
stand as one in our prayers:
بسم الله والحمد لله
والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد
Shaikh Ibn Baaz رحمه الله said:
And from the matters in which there is laxity and
negligence - on the part of some of the Imaams (of the Masaajid) and those who
are praying behind them in the congregation – is in regards to straightening
the rows, standing (straight) in it, and being close to each other (while
offering the prayer in congregation). And in this matter it is feared that the
wrath of Allaah سبحانه may befall (the one
who is negligent about it) on account of the threats that have been reported in
this regard:
On the authority of Abu Mas`ood al-Ansaaree رضي الله عنه who said: The Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم used to gently pat
our shoulders (when we were standing in rows) at the time of Salaah and say: “Keep (the rows) straight and do not differ from each
other (do not be irregular) lest your hearts should suffer from discord.”
[Saheeh Muslim (868)]
Narrated An-Nu`maan bin Basheer رضي الله عنه: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Straighten
your rows or Allaah will alter your faces (and would create dissension amongst
you).” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (717)
and Saheeh Muslim (874, 875)]
It was reported on the authority of Anas رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of
Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم
said: “Straighten
your rows, for the straightening of rows is a part of the perfection of
Salaah.” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (722)
and Saheeh Muslim (871, 873)]
[Majmoo` Fataawa of Shaikh Ibn Baan (12/10)]
