Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ اثْنَانِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ وَاحِدٍ وَثَلَاثٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَنْ يَجْمَعَ أُمَّتِي إِلَّا عَلَى هُدًى.
English Translation
Abu al-Yaman narrated to us: Ibn Ayyash narrated to us, from al-Bakhtari ibn Ubayd ibn Salman, from his father, from Abu Dharr, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: "Two are better than one, three are better than two, and four are better than three; so hold fast to the community (jama'ah), for Allah, Mighty and Majestic is He, will never bring my nation together except upon guidance."
