English translation

664. Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib reported: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would enter between the rows from one side to the other.[1] He would touch our chests and shoulders and say: 'Do not differ, else your hearts will differ.' And he would also say: 'Allāh and His Angels send their Ṣalāt (blessings) on the front rows.'" (Ṣaḥīh)

Arabic text

664 - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، وَأَبُوعَاصِمِ بْنُ جَوَّاسٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ الْيَامِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْسَجَةَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَخَلَّلُ الصَّفَّ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ يَمْسَحُ صُدُورَنَا وَمَنَاكِبَنَا وَيَقُولُ: «لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ» وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الصُّفُوفِ الْأُوَلِ»
