Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَبْرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُسْلِمَ بْنَ مِشْكَمٍ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيُّ قَالَ كَانَ النَّاسُ إِذَا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى ال
لَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْزِلًا فَعَسْكَرَ تَفَرَّقُوا عَنْهُ فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ فَقَامَ فِي فَقَالَ إِنَّ تَفَرُّقَكُمْ فِي الشِّعَابِ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكُمْ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ قَالَ فَكَانُوا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا نَزَلُوا انْضَمَّ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ حَتَّى إِنَّكَ لَتَقُولُ لَوْ بَسَطْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَاءً لَعَمَّهُمْ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ

English Translation
Abū Thaʿlabah al-Khushanī said: When the people would camp at a place where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped during a march, they would scatter into the mountain passes and valleys. So he stood and said: 'Your scattering into the mountain passes is only from Shayṭān.' After that, whenever they camped, they would gather close to one another, so much so that one could say: 'If a cloak were spread over them, it would cover them all' — or something similar.
