Hammam b. Munabbih reported: This is what was transmitted to us by Abu Huraira from the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and, while making a mention of a few ahadith, said: (The Messengerof Allah directed us thus): Establish rows in prayer, for the making of a row (straight) is one of the merits of prayer.
