Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some of the imams of the mosques say when arranging the rows, “Indeed, Allah looks at the crooked row.” Is there an authentic hadith regarding this?
Answer:
The hadith “Allah does not look at the crooked row” — we have not found it. We have sought it but did not find this matter. However, praise be to Allah, there are sufficient authentic hadiths commanding the straightening of the rows, informing that straightening the rows is part of the perfection of the prayer, and warning against disorder in the rows. These are sufficient authentic hadiths. Yes.
