Mishkat al-Masabih #1036
Prayer
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ: «اعْتَدِلُوا سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ» . وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ: «اعْتَدِلُوا سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُ
Anas told how God’s Messenger used to say to those on his right, ‘‘Keep straight and straighten your rows," and say the same to those on his left.
Abu Dawud transmitted it.
