Is it permissible to alert the imam by slapping one's hands on one's thighs, based on the story of Mu'awiyah ibn al-Hakam?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : No, this is not derived from alerting someone other than the imam, because the prayer of the imam and the followers is connected. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
the straightening of the rows is part of perfecting the prayer إن تسوية الصف من تمام الصلاة
Sunan Abi Dawud 668Sahih (Al-Albani)
But tell me, is it permissible for us to look at a person with our eyes now? The answer is yes, because this is a need. Ah.

The questioner : Even turning the gaze.

The Shaykh : Even turning the gaze, yes, that is the end of it.
