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).
