حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَبْرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُسْلِمَ بْنَ مِشْكَمٍ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيُّ قَالَ
كَانَ النَّاسُ إِذَا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْزِلًا فَعَسْكَرَ تَفَرَّقُوا عَنْهُ فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ، فَقَامَ فِيهِمْ فَقَالَ: « إِنَّمَا تَفَرُّقَكُمْ فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكُمْ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ » قَالَ: فَكَانُوا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا نَزَلُوا، انْضَمَّ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ، حَتَّى إِنَّكَ لَتَقُولُ: لَوْ بَسَطْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَاءً لَعَمَّهُمْ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ.

✧ When the Messenger of God ﷺ encamped with an army, the people would scatter from him into the ravines and valleys. He stood among them and said: 'Your scattering into the ravines and valleys is only from Satan.' After that, when they encamped, they drew close to one another, so much so that one would say, if I spread a cloak over them, it would cover them all, or something like that.
