( أَخْبَرَنَا ) مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا: ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، ( ح ) وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ: الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْإِسْفَرَايِينِيُّ بِهَا، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَهْلٍ: بِشْرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الذُّهْلِيُّ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ ؓ يَقُولُ:
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَوِّي صُفُوفَنَا حَتَّى كَأَنَّمَا يُسَوِّي بِهَا الْقِدَاحَ، حَتَّى يَرَى أَنَّا قَدْ عَقَلْنَا عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ يَوْمًا، فَقَامَ حَتَّى كَادَ يُكَبِّرُ، فَرَأَى رَجُلًا بَادِيًا صَدْرُهُ مِنَ الصَّفِّ، فَقَالَ: عِبَادَ اللهِ لَتُسَوُّنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ، أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللهُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِكُمْ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to straighten our rows until it was as though he were straightening arrows with them, until he saw that we had understood from him. Then one day he came out, stood, and was about to say the takbīr, when he saw a man whose chest was protruding from the row. He said: "Servants of Allah, you will straighten your rows, or Allah will set your faces against one another."
