اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَبْرٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُسْلِمَ بْنَ مِشْكَمٍ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيُّ ، قَالَ : كَانَ النَّاسُ إِذَا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْزِلًا فَعَسْكَرَ ، تَفَرَّقُوا عَنْهُ فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ ، فَقَامَ فِيهم ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ تَفَرُّقَكُمْ فِي الشِّعَابِ والأَزدِية 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.
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) camped at any place with an army, the people would scatter in different ravines and valleys. (Once this happened, so) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and said: Your scattering in these ravines and valleys is because of Satan. The narrator says that after this, whenever they camped at any place, the people would stay so close to each other that you could say if a single sheet were spread over them, it would cover them all.
