Sunan Ibn Majah 1003 (Book 5, Hadith 201) #30355
Praying Behind the Row

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) taught that one should not pray behind the row and must repeat their prayer if they do so.

'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Ali bin Shaiban narrated that his father, 'Ali bin Shaiban, who was part of the delegation, said: "We set out until we came to the Prophet . We gave him our oath of allegiance and performed prayer behind him. Then we offered another prayer behind him. He finished the prayer and saw a man on his own, praying behind the row". He said: "The Prophet of Allah stood beside him and when he finished he said: 'Repeat your prayer; there is no prayer for the one who is behind the row.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُلاَزِمُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَدْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَيْبَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَيْبَانَ - وَكَانَ مِنَ الْوَفْدِ - قَالَ خَرَجْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ وَصَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْنَا وَرَاءَهُ صَلاَةً أُخْرَى فَقَضَى الصَّلاَةَ فَرَأَى رَجُلاً فَرْدًا يُصَلِّي خَلْفَ الصَّفِّ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ـ ـ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اسْتَقْبِلْ صَلاَتَكَ، لاَ صَلاَةَ لِلَّذِي خَلْفَ الصَّفِّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the importance of praying in congregation. It is important to stand in a straight line when praying with others and not to be behind them. If someone does pray behind the row, then they must repeat their prayer as it will not be accepted by Allah. This hadith also shows us how much care and attention the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) paid to his followers even when he was busy himself. He noticed this man who was praying on his own and stopped him from continuing until he joined the congregation properly.

This hadith also teaches us about following instructions from our elders or those in authority over us such as teachers or parents. We should always listen carefully to what they say and follow their instructions even if we don’t understand why at first because there may be a good reason for it that we can’t see yet.
