أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ
أَنَّ عُمَرَ لَمَّا زَادَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ غَفَلُوا عَنِ الْعُودِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ «أَتَدْرُونَ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ جُعِلَ ذَلِكَ الْعُودُ؟ » فَقَالُوا لَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَخَذَ الْعُودَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَقَالَ «اعْدِلُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَاسْتَوُوا» ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَقَالَ «اعْدِلُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ»

✧ That when Umar extended the mosque, they neglected the piece of wood that was in the qiblah. Anas said: «Do you know for what reason that piece of wood was placed?» They said: No. He said: The Prophet ﷺ, when the prayer was established, took the piece of wood with his right hand, then turned and said: «Straighten your rows and stand evenly.» Then he took it with his left hand, then turned and said: «Straighten your rows.»
