The Shaykh Al-Albani’s explanation of the prescribed manner of the prayer barrier (sutrah)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The second section: I noticed that there is a gap between you and the followers behind you on one side, a long distance. The hadith that says:
Draw close together the rows قارِبُوا بين الصُّفوف
Draw close together the rows قاربوا بين الصفوف
, so that there is not the gap we found today. And conversely, and this is what I think you are aware of, but it seems you did not pay attention, I think our brothers...Those present : all of them.
The student : ... if you please, let them be in the middle, the young men should be close to...The Shaykh .

The Shaykh : ... then we will think about it later, come closer to here, bring the rows closer, bring them closer, we are talking about closeness, not like this.
The student : Welcome, Abu Khalid.

The Shaykh : Welcome, and peace be upon you, welcome, Abu Khalid.
Abu Khalid: How are you?

The Shaykh : How are you? I said that I hope our brothers present, all of them or at least most of them, or at least most of them, know the obligation of facing the sutrah in prayer, this is first. Second, to be close to the sutrah, but not so close that he is about to ram the sutrah with his head, but rather he should leave between the place of his prostration and the sutrah the passage of a sheep, the passage of a sheep, meaning at most two handbreadths. So I noticed, did I hit the mark or miss? That is not important, the important thing is the reminder that at the time you moved away from the first row, you got closer to the sutrah more than necessary. So if you had come closer to us a little and moved away from that, it would have been balanced. And this is a reminder, and a reminder benefits the believers. This is regarding you. It is related to you that the row must be to the left of the pulpit. Regarding you, something that truly surprised me is the recitation that was measured and excellent, especially since you recited the prostration verse and prostrated in accordance with the Sunnah without takbir, as people do, whether descending or ascending. But I do not know, if I had known you as I know myself, an old shaykh, and old age overcomes him so his head shakes from...The Shaykh : ... a place, I would have excused you, but you, praise be to Allah, are a young man in the prime of youth and vigor, so I saw this shaking of the head and I was not surprised, I was not surprised, because many of those who recite with excellence do this, so I thought the infection had spread to you from them.

The questioner : Our master, it came in the Fiqh of the Sunnah.

The Shaykh : If you please, I hope you will observe yourself in this.

The questioner : I mean, it was often, our shaykh...

The Shaykh : It does not concern you, a little or a lot, you do not restrict yourself, here.
The student : ... with the recitation.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : ... with the recitation.

The Shaykh : Ah, I mean, how do you see it, a lot or a little.

The questioner : It is the melodic intonation, our shaykh.

The Shaykh : I am asking you, we learned a lesson from you.
The student : As much as there is melodic intonation, there is head shaking, it is permissible, hehehe.

The Shaykh: Hehehe.
The student : So that we can get out.

The questioner : Shaykh, the one who...

The Shaykh : No, it is not your turn, please, you...
