English translation

547. Abū Ad-Dardā' narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "Never do three people in a village or desert leave establishing the (congregational) prayer among themselves except that Shaitān overpowers them. So I command you to stick with the group (Al-Jamā'ah), for indeed the wolf only eats (attacks) the solitary sheep." (Sahīh) (One of the narrators) Zā'idah said: "As-Sā'ib said: 'The meaning of "the group (Al-Jamā'ah")" is the prayer in congregation.'"

547 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا السَّائِبُ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ فِي قَرْيَةٍ وَلَا بَدْوٍ لَا تُقَامُ فِيهِمُ الصَّلَاةُ إِلَّا قَدِ اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ، فَعَلَيْكَ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ الذِّئْبُ الْقَاصِيَةَ»، قَالَ زَائِدَةُ: قَالَ السَّائِبُ: يَعْنِي بِالْجَمَاعَةِ: الصَّلَاةَ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ
