(96) باب تَسْوِيَةِ الصُّفُوفِ
Narrated Al-Bara' ibn Azib:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pass through the row from one side to the other; he used to set out chests and shoulders in order, and say: Do not be irregular. And he would say: Allah and His angels bless those who are near the first rows. (IT)
