(Book 9, Hadith 47) #35428
Straightening Rows and Saying Takbir

SUMMARY: Umar ibn al-Khattab used to order people to line up in straight rows and then say the takbir.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Umar ibn al-Khattab used to order the rows to be straightened, and when they had come to him and told him that the rows were straight he would say the takbir.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِتَسْوِيَةِ الصُّفُوفِ فَإِذَا جَاءُوهُ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنْ قَدِ اسْتَوَتْ كَبَّرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
Umar ibn al-Khattab was a companion of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ who was known for his leadership skills. He would often order people to line up in straight rows before he said the takbir. The takbir is an Islamic phrase which means "God is great". This hadith teaches us that it is important for us to be organized and orderly when we are doing something together as a group. It also reminds us of the importance of praising God and recognizing His greatness in all that we do. We should strive to be organized and orderly in our lives so that we can better appreciate God's greatness.
