Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِوَجْهِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَتَرَاصُّوا فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِي.
English Translation
Abdullah ibn Bakr told us, Humayd told us, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, turned his face to us before saying the takbir for prayer and said: "Straighten your rows and stand close together, for I see you from behind my back."
