Hadith #36
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسَوِّينَا فِي الصّ
ُفُوفِ حَتَّى كَأَنَّمَا يُحَاذِي بِنَا الْقِدَاحَ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ رَأَى رَجُلًا شَاخِصًا صَدْرُهُ فَقَالَ لَتُسَوُّنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِكُمْ

English Translation
Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī narrated to us, from Zāʾidah, from Simāk, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to straighten us in the rows as though he were aligning arrows. When he was about to say the takbīr, he saw a man whose chest was protruding, and he said: 'You shall straighten your rows or Allah will cause discord among your faces.'
