Original Arabic
وعن أبي الدرداء رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:
ما من ثلاثة في قرية ولا بدو لا تقام فيهم الصلاة إلا قد استحوذ عليهم الشيطان. فعليكم بالجماعة، فإنما يأكل الذئب من الغنم القاصية
((رواه أبو داود بإسناد حسن)).

Abud-Darda' (May Allah be pleased with him)reported:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "If three men in a village or in the desert, make no arrangement for Salat in congregation, Satan must have certainly overcome them. So observe Salat in congregation, for the wolf eats up a solitary sheep that stays far from the flock." [Abu Dawud].
