أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارِ بْنِ الرَّيَّانِ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ بْنِ قُدَامَةَ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ قَالَ
سَأَلَنِي أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ أَيْنَ مَسْكَنُكَ؟ قُلْتُ فِي قَرْيَةٍ دُونَ حِمْصٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ فِي قَرْيَةٍ وَلَا بَدْوٍ لَا تُقَامُ فِيهِمُ الصَّلَاةُ إِلَّا اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَعَلَيْكَ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ الذِّئْبُ الْقَاصِيَةَ»

✧ Abu al-Darda' asked me, 'Where do you live?' I said, 'In a village near Hims.' He said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There are not three people in a village or desert among whom the prayer is not established except that Satan has gained mastery over them. So keep to the congregation, for the wolf eats only the stray sheep.'
