Chapter: The Severity Of Not Attending The Congregational Prayer.

باب فِي التَّشْدِيدِ فِي تَرْكِ الْجَمَاعَةِ

English narration

Narrated by عويمر بن مالك الأنصاري

Narrated Abud Darda: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If there are three men in a village or in the desert among whom prayer is not offered (in congregation), the devil has got the mastery over them. So observe (prayer) in congregation), for the wolf eats only the straggling animal. Saib said: By the word Jama'ah he meant saying prayer in company or in congregation.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا السَّائِبُ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمُرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ 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 .
