English translation

673. Abdul-Ḥamīd bin Maḥmūd said: "I prayed the Friday prayer with Anas bin Mālik, and we were pushed to (the rows between) the pillars, so we went forward and backward. Anas said: 'We used to avoid this during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.'" (Ṣaḥīh)

Arabic text

673 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ هَانِئٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ مَحْمُودٍ، قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ «فَدُفِعْنَا إِلَى السَّوَارِي، فَتَقَدَّمْنَا وَتَأَخَّرْنَا»، فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ: «كُنَّا نَتَّقِي هَذَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»

Commentary

Since the pillars sever the row, it is not encouraged to form rows between them. It should not be done unless there is no space due to overcrowding.
