حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنِي زَائِدَةُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي السَّائِبُ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ الْكَلَاعِيُّ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمَرِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: أَيْنَ مَسْكَنُكَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فِي قَرْيَةٍ دُونَ حِمْصَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ فِي قَرْيَةٍ لَا يُؤَذَّنُ وَلَا تُقَامُ فِيهِمُ الصَّلَاةُ إِلَّا اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ، فَعَلَيْكَ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ، فَإِنَّ الذِّئْبَ يَأْكُلُ الْقَاصِيَةَ " (١)، ،

Ma'dan bin Abi Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that once Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) asked me, "Where do you reside?" I replied, "In a village behind Hims." He said, "I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: 'In any village where there are three men and neither the call to prayer nor the establishment of prayer is observed, Satan overcomes them. Therefore, adhere to the congregation of Muslims, for the wolf devours the solitary sheep.'"
