994. Simāk bin Harb narrated that he heard Nūmān bin Bashir say: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to straighten the rows until he made them like a spear or an arrow-shaft. Once he saw a man's chest (sticking out) so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Make your rows straight or Allāh will create division among you.''' (Sahih) صُفَوُكُمْ، أَوْ لِيَخَالِفَنَّ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ وَجُوهِكُمْ.
994 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النُّعْمَانَ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، يَقُولُ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يُسَوِّي الصَّفَّ، حَتَّى يَجْعَلَهُ مِثْلَ الرُّمْحِ أَوِ الْقِدْحِ قَالَ، فَرَأَى صَدْرَ رَجُلٍ نَاتِئًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ، أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِكُمْ»

There are not only apparent reasons for differences and dissensions among the community but also some spiritual reasons screened from the naked eye. One of these reasons is the lack of attention to straightening of the rows for prayer.
