حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا السَّائِبُ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَا مِنْ ثَلاَثَةٍ فِي قَرْيَةٍ وَلاَ بَدْوٍ لاَ تُقَامُ فِيهِمُ الصَّلاَةُ إِلاَّ قَدِ اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَعَلَيْكَ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ الذِّئْبُ الْقَاصِيَةَ ‏"‏ . قَالَ زَائِدَةُ قَالَ السَّائِبُ يَعْنِي بِالْجَمَاعَةِ الصَّلاَةَ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ .

English translation
Narrated AbudDarda': I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: If there are three men in a village or in the desert among whom prayer is not offered (in congregation), the devil has got the mastery over them. So observe (prayer) in congregation), for the wolf eats only the straggling animal. Sa'ib said: By the word Jama'ah he meant saying prayer in company or in congregation
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আবূ দারদা (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে বলতে শুনেছিঃ কোন জনপদে বা বনজঙ্গলে তিনজন লোক একত্রে বসবাস করা সত্ত্বেও তারা জামা‘আতে সালাত আদায়ের ব্যবস্থা না করলে তাদের উপর শয়তান আধিপত্য বিস্তার করে। অতএব তোমরা জামা‘আতকে আকঁড়ে ধর। কারণ নেকড়ে (বাঘ) দলচ্যুত বকরীটিকেই খেয়ে থাকে। যায়িদাহ (রহঃ) বলেন, সায়িব (রহঃ) বলেছেন, এখানে জামা‘আত বলতে সালাতের জামা‘আতকেই বোঝানো হয়েছে। হাসান।
