Abdullah told us, my father told me, Abd al-Samad told us, Abd al-Warith told us, Umar ibn Ibrahim told us, Qatadah told us, from al-'Ala' ibn Ziyad, from a trustworthy man who narrated to him, from Mu'adh ibn Jabal, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: "Indeed Satan is the wolf of mankind, like the wolf among sheep, which seizes the straying and isolated sheep. So beware of splitting off from the main body, and hold fast to the community and the common body of the Muslims."
