عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ:
قُلْتُ لَهُ: أَيُكْرَهُ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ الْإِنْسَانُ يَخْرِقُ الصُّفُوفَ بَعْدَمَا يُكَبِّرُ الْإِمَامُ ؟ قَالَ: " لَا، إِلَّا أَنْ يَمْشِيَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَحَدٍ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدُ: " إِنْ خَرَقَ الصُّفُوفَ إِلَى فُرْجَةٍ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ، وَحَقٌّ عَلَى النَّاسِ أَنْ يَدْحَسُوا الصُّفُوفَ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ فُرَجٌ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ﴿إِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُمْ بُنْيَانٌ مَرْصُوصٌ ﴾، فَالصَّلَاةُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهَا ذَلِكَ
Translation
✧ I said to him: 'Is it disliked for a person to walk through the rows after the imam says the takbir?' He said: 'No, unless he walks directly in front of someone.' Then he said afterwards: 'If he breaks through the rows to an empty space, he has done well, and it is a duty upon the people to close up the rows so that there are no gaps between them.' Then he said: 'Indeed, God loves those who fight in His way in ranks as if they were a solid structure (Quran 61:4). So prayer is more worthy of having that.'
