أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفُضَيْلُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنْ تَمِيمٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ طَرَفَةَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ
خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَلَا تَصُفُّونَ كَمَا تَصُفُّ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ؟» قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ تَصُفُّ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ؟ قَالَ «يُتِمُّونَ الصَّفَّ الْأَوَّلَ وَيَتَرَاصُّونَ فِي الصَّفِّ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us and said, "Will you not form rows as the angels form rows before their Lord?" They said, "How do the angels form rows before their Lord?" He said, "They complete the first row and stand close together in the row."
