حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَعْمَشَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، فِي الصُّفُوفِ الْمُقَدَّمَةِ فَحَدَّثَنَا عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرْفَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ أَلاَ تَصُفُّونَ كَمَا تَصُفُّ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ ‏"‏ . قُلْنَا وَكَيْفَ تَصُفُّ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ قَالَ ‏"‏ يُتِمُّونَ الصُّفُوفَ الْمُقَدَّمَةَ وَيَتَرَاصُّونَ فِي الصَّفِّ ‏"‏ .

English translation
jabir b. Samurah reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: Why do you stand in rows as the angels do in the presence of their Lord? We asked: how do the angles stand in rows in the presence of their Lord? He replied: they make the first row complete and keep close together in the row
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। জাবির ইবনু সামুরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ মালায়িকাহ্ (ফিরিশতাগণ) যেরূপ তাদের প্রতিপালকের নিকট কাতারবদ্ধ হয়ে থাকে তোমরা কি সেরূপ কাতারবদ্ধ হবে না? আমরা বললাম, মালায়িকাহ্ তাদের প্রতিপালকের নিকট কিরূপে কাতারবদ্ধ হয়? তিনি বলেন, সর্বাগ্রে তারা প্রথম কাতার পূর্ণ করে, তারপর পর্যায়ক্রমে পরবর্তী কাতারগুলো এবং তারা কাতারে পরস্পর মিলে মিলে দাঁড়ায়। সহীহ : মুসলিম।
