The Book of Virtues

ENGLISH

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Stand close together in your rows, keep nearer to one another, and put your necks in line, for by Him in Whose Hands my soul is, I see the Satan entering through the opening in the row like Al- hadhaf (i.e., a type of small black sheep found in Yemen)." <b>[Abu Dawud]</b>.

ARABIC

وعن أنس، رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏

‏رصوا صفوفكم، وقاربوا بينها وحاذوا الأعناق فوالذي نفسي بيده إني لأرى الشيطان يدخل من خلل الصف، كأنها الحذف‏
