Kutoka kwa Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) reported: "Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) would place his hands upon our shoulders when we would form rows for As-Salat (the swala) and say, "Stand in straight rows and do not differ among yourselves, or else your hearts will differ due to disaccord. Let those be nearest to me who are mature and endowed with understanding (of the religion), then those who are nearest to them in these respects and then those who are nearest to them".."

Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would place his hands upon our shoulders when we would form rows for As-Salat (the prayer) and say, "Stand in straight rows and do not differ among yourselves, or else your hearts will differ due to disaccord. Let those be nearest to me who are mature and endowed with understanding (of the religion), then those who are nearest to them in these respects and then those who are nearest to them"..
