Show the chain

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَوِّمُ الصُّفُوفَ كَمَا تُقَوَّمُ الْقِدَاحُ فَأَبْصَرَ رَجُلاً خَارِجًا صَدْرُهُ مِنَ الصَّفِّ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَتُقِيمُنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِكُمْ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to straighten the rows like shaft of an arrow is straightened before the head is attached to it. He saw a man whose chest was sticking out from the row. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Make your rows straight or Allah will cause your faces to be deformed."
