992. It was narrated that Jâbir bin Samurah As-Suwâ'i said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Will you not form your rows as the angels form their rows before their Lord?' We said: 'How do the angels form their rows before their Lord?' He said: 'They complete the first row and they stand close of one another in the line (leaving no gaps between one another).'"
992 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ السُّوَائِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلَا تَصُفُّونَ كَمَا تَصُفُّ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهَا؟» قَالَ، قُلْنَا: وَكَيْفَ تَصُفُّ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهَا؟ قَالَ: «يُتِمُّونَ الصُّفُوفَ الْأُوَلَ، وَيَتَرَاصُّونَ فِي الصَّفِّ»
