Straightening Rows for Unity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised people to straighten their rows in order to avoid discord and disunity.

Nu'man b. Bashir reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: Straighten your rows, or Allah would create dissension amongst you.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ، بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَالِمَ بْنَ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ الْغَطَفَانِيَّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لَتُسَوُّنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِكُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, taught us the importance of unity and avoiding discord. He said that if we do not straighten our rows when we are gathered together, Allah will create dissension amongst us. This means that if we do not take care to ensure that everyone is in their proper place and behaving properly, then Allah will cause us to fight with each other or disagree with each other. This hadith teaches us the importance of being organized and orderly when gathering together as a group so that we can maintain unity and avoid discord. It also reminds us of the power of Allah over all things; even something as small as how people stand in a row can have an effect on our relationships with one another!
