228. ‘Abdullāh (Ibn Mas‘ūd) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Let those among you with understanding and reason be close to me, then those after them, then those after them. And do not separate or dissention will occur among your hearts, and beware of the commotion of the markets.”[1] (Ṣāḥih)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ubayy bin Ka‘b, Abū Mas‘ūd, Abū Sa‘eed, Al-Barā’, and Anas.
Abū ‘Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Ibn Mas‘ūd is a Ḥasan [Ṣāḥih] Gharīb Ḥadīth.
It has been related from the Prophet ﷺ that he liked to have the Muhājirūn and the Anṣār close to him so that they would learn and preserve (how he prayed).
[He said:] Khālid Al-Ḥadhā’ (one of the narrators) is Khālid bin Mihrān, his Kunyah is Abū Al-Munāzil.
[He said: And] I heard Muḥammad bin Ismā‘īl saying: “[It is said that] Khālid Al-Ḥadhā’ was never a cobbler.
It was only because he used to sit in the company of a cobbler that he was called Ḥadh-dhā’.”
[He said:] Abū Maʿshar's (a narrator in this chain of Hadīth) name is Ziyād bin Kulaib.

Commentary
The wise people being lagged behind the prayer and then to express anger for the general people, who have already taken places in the first row, is unthinkable anyway. The prohibition of 'commotion of the markets' means it is wrong to make any noise in the mosques, raising voices to an unnecessary limit, arguing and wrangling or to remain behind the prayers to be involved in the street noise.
