English translation

822. It was narrated that 'Abdul-Ĥamîd bin Maḥmûd said: "We were with Anas and we prayed with one of the Amûrs. They pushed us until we stood and prayed between two rows, and Anas started moving backward and said: 'We used to avoid this at the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ.'" (Sahîh)

Arabic text

821 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ هَانِئٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ مَحْمُودٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ أَنَسٍ فَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَ أَمِيرٍ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ، فَدَفَعُونَا حَتَّى قُمْنَا وَصَلَّيْنَا بَيْنَ السَّارِيَتَيْنِ، فَجَعَلَ أَنَسٌ يَتَأَخَّرُ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ كُنَّا نَتَّقِي هَذَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»

Commentary

A pillared row would apparently be cut off at various places, and to cut off the rows is a sin. Hence, instead of stationing oneself in a pillared row, one should station oneself in the former or the latter row (former and latter row in relation to the pillared one). In one narration it is explicitly forbidden to form rows between pillars. (Sunan Ibn Mâjah 1002).
