حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ
اثْنَانِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ وَاحِدٍ، وَثَلَاثَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَ اثْنَيْنِ، وَأَرْبَعَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ، فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] لَنْ يَجْمَعَ أُمَّتِي إِلَّا عَلَى هُدًى
