Etiquette of Congregational & Friday Prayer
Straightening and closing the rows
The Prophet (SAW) said: "Straighten your rows, for straightening the rows is part of the completion of the prayer."
Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, on the authority of Anas ibn Malik (RA)
Explanation
Orderly rows are treated as part of the prayer's own perfection, not a separate matter of discipline.
