Hadith text: Straighten your rows, for indeed, straightening the row…
Explanation of the hadith: Straighten your rows, for indeed, straightening the row…
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commands those who perform the prayer to straighten their rows, not being forward or backward from the row, and that straightening the rows is part of the completion and perfection of the prayer, whereas the crookedness of the row is a flaw and deficiency in the prayer.
Lessons: Straighten your rows, for indeed, straightening the row…
- Permissibility of paying attention to whatever leads to perfecting the prayer and keeps it far from deficiency.
- Wisdom of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in teaching as he joined the ruling with its cause to clarify the rationale behind the legislation and encourage people to comply.
