Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ أَسْوَدُ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ رَاصُّو صُفُوفَكُمْ وَقَارِبُوا بَيْنَهَا وَحَاذُوا بِالْأَعْنَاقِ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى الشَّيَاطِينَ تَدْخُلُ مِنْ خَلَلِ الصَّفِّ كَأَنَّهَا الْحَذَفُ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ إِنِّي لَأَرَى الشَّيْطَانَ يَدْخُلُ.
English Translation
Aswad ibn Amir and Affan told us, they said: Aban told us, from Qatada, from Anas - Aswad said: Anas ibn Malik told us - that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Draw your rows close together, bring them near to one another, and align the necks; for by the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, I indeed see the devils entering through the gaps in the row like small lambs." Affan said: "I indeed see the devil entering."
