The ma'mum's words when straightening the rows and their ruling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the imam says in the mosque, "Straighten your rows, may Allah have mercy on you," or "Stand in alignment, may Allah reward you," what does the ma'mum say? And what is the ruling on straightening the rows?

Answer:
The ma'mum does not say anything. Rather, the rows are packed closely together, the gaps are closed, and the rows are straightened. They do not say anything. When the imam says, "Straighten your rows," they say nothing other than complying; they straighten their rows. Yes.
