Qur'an 61:4 As-Saff
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِهِۦ صَفًّۭا كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَٰنٌۭ مَّرْصُوصٌۭ
Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly.

What it says
Against the gap between word and deed just condemned, this verse sets an image of matched claim and action: men fighting in His cause arranged in an unbroken line, each one holding his place like a stone set in a wall. The surah takes its name, As-Saff, from this single word.
