Does the imam’s command to straighten the rows have to be in the specific words that were transmitted, such as: “Straighten up and stand in a line”?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is the command to straighten the rows restricted to what was transmitted, so one says “Straighten up and stand in a line,” or is it not?
Answer:
Yes, one uses the words transmitted in this regard: “Straighten up, stand in a line, straighten your rows, and close the gaps.” For straightening the rows is part of the perfection of the prayer. One uses the words transmitted from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and does not invent words on his own. Yes.
