The questioner : Malik narrated to me from his uncle Abu Suhayl ibn Malik from his father that he said: I was with 'Uthman ibn 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) when he stood for prayer while I was writing to him about appointing me, so I kept speaking to him while he was straightening the pebbles, straightening the pebbles with his sandals, until men came to him whom he had entrusted with straightening the rows, and they informed him that the rows had been straightened. He said to me, "Straighten yourself in the row," and then he said the takbir. Is it authentic?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Correct.
The Shaykh : But he said to me, what?
The questioner : He said to me, straighten yourself in the row.
The Shaykh : Straighten?
The questioner : It seems it was straighten yourself in the row.
The Shaykh : Yes, who said it to him?
The questioner : 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said it to the one he had entrusted after he finished and was informed that the rows had been straightened. He said, "And straighten yourself," and then 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said the takbir. He said to him, "Straighten yourself," meaning in the row, and then 'Uthman... 'Uthman ibn 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him), and the one addressed was the one entrusted with straightening the rows.
