أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْأَزْهَرِ السِّجْزِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ وَشُعْبَةُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
«رُصُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَقَارِبُوا بَيْنَهَا وَحَاذُوا بِالْأَكْتَافِ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى الشَّيْطَانَ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ خَلَلِ الصَّفِّ كَأَنَّهَا الْحَذَفُ»
