حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ السُّلَمِيُّ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا تَصُفُّونَ كَمَا تَصُفُّ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ؟» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَيْفَ تَصُفُّ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ؟ قَالَ «يُتِمُّونَ الصَّفَّ الْمُقَدَّمَ وَيَتَرَاصُّونَ فِي الصَّفِّ»

Why do you stand in rows as the angels do in the presence of their Lord? We asked: how do the angles stand in rows in the presence of their Lord? He replied: they make the first row complete and keep close together in the row. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 661)
