أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ
جِئْتُ فَقَعَدْتُ فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ جَاءَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَقَعَدَ مَكَانَكَ هَذَا فَقَالَ تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا الْعُودُ؟ قُلْنَا لَا قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ أَخَذَ بِيَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَقَالَ «اعْتَدِلُوا سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ» ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَسَارِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اعْتَدِلُوا سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ» فَلَمَّا هُدِمَ الْمَسْجِدُ فُقِدَ فَالْتَمَسَهُ عُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ أَخَذَهُ بَنُو عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَجَعَلُوهُ فِي مَسْجِدِهِمْ فَانْتَزَعَهُ فَأَعَادَهُ

✧ I came and sat down, and Muhammad b. Muslim b. Khabbab said: Anas b. Malik came and sat in this place of yours and said: Do you know what this piece of wood is? We said: No. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he stood for prayer, took it with his right hand, then turned and said: «Stand straight and straighten your rows.» Then he took it with his left hand and said: «Stand straight and straighten your rows.» When the mosque was demolished, it was lost. Then Umar, ؓ, searched for it and found that the Banu 'Amr b. 'Awf had taken it and placed it in their mosque, so he seized it and returned it.
