Riyad as-Salihin: Book 8, Hadith 92

Jabir bin Samurah (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to us (once) and said, “Why do you not stand in rows as the angels do before their Rubb?” We asked: “O Messenger of Allah! how do the angels stand in rows before their Rubb?” He (ﷺ) replied, “They complete each row beginning with the first and filling all the gaps.”.

عن جابر بن سمرة، رضي الله عنهما، قال‏:‏ خرج علينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال‏:‏ ‏”‏ألا تصفون كما تصف الملائكة عند ربها‏؟‏‏”‏ فقلنا‏:‏ يا رسول الله وكيف تصف الملائكة عند ربها‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏”‏يتمون الصفوف الأُول، ويتراصون في الصف‏”‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
