English translation

[972] 122 - (432) It was narrated that Abû Mas'ûd said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to touch our shoulders when we were standing for prayers and he would say: 'Make the rows straight and do not differ, lest your hearts differ. Let those who are most wise and possessing intellect be closest to me, then those who come after them, then those who come after them.'" Abû Mas'ûd said: "But today there is a great deal of discord among you."

Arabic text

122 - (432) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَوَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْسَحُ مَنَاكِبَنَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ، وَيَقُولُ: «اسْتَوُوا، وَلَا تَخْتَلِفُوا، فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ، لِيَلِنِي مِنْكُمْ أُولُو الْأَحْلَامِ وَالنُّهَى ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ» قَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ: «فَأَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ أَشَدُّ اخْتِلَافًا»
