Tamim bin Tarafah narrates from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came while the Companions were sitting, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why is it that I see you in separate groups?" Sufyan said: That is, in scattered circles.
