حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ بْنِ قُدَامَةَ وَوَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي زَائِدَةُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ عَنِ السَّائِبِ قَالَ وَكِيعٌ ابْنِ حُبَيْشٍ الْكَلَاعِيِّ عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمُرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ أَيْنَ مَسْكَنُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ فِي قَرْيَةٍ دُونَ حِمْصَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ فِي قَرْيَةٍ فَلَا يُؤَذَّنُ وَلَا تُقَامُ فِيهِمْ الصَّلَوَاتُ إِلَّا اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمْ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَيْكَ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ الذِّئْبُ الْقَاصِيَةَ قَالَ ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ السَّائِبُ يَعْنِي بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ.

Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated to us, from Za'idah ibn Qudamah - and Waki' said: Za'idah ibn Qudamah narrated to me - from al-Sa'ib - Waki' said: Ibn Hubaysh al-Kala'i - from Ma'dan ibn Abi Talhah al-Ya'muri. He said: Abu al-Darda' said to me: "Where is your dwelling?" He said: I said, "In a village near Hims." He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: 'There are no three people in a village where the adhan is not called and prayers are not established among them, except that Shaytan has overcome them. You must stick to the congregation, for the wolf eats the stray.'" Ibn Mahdi said: Al-Sa'ib said, "meaning the congregation in prayer."
