The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us and said, "Why do I see you raising your hands as though they were the tails of restless horses? Be still in prayer."Then he came out to us again and saw us sitting in scattered circles, so he said, "Why do I see you in separate groups?"Then he came out to us and said, "Will you not form your rows as the angels form theirs before their Lord?"We asked, "Messenger of Allah, how do the angels form their rows before their Lord?"He answered, "They complete the first rows and press close together in the row."
