Abu Masud reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ (may peace he upon him) used to touch our shoulders in prayer and say: Keep straight, dont be irregular, for there would be dissension in your hearts. Let those of you who are sedate and prudent be near me, then those who are next to them, then those who are next to them. Abu Masud said: Now-a-days there is much dissension amongst you.
