Chapter 15 · Jihad (Kitab Al-Jihad)مَا يُؤْمَرُ مِنَ انْضِمَامِ الْعَسْكَرِ وَسِعَتِهِ
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْحِمْصِيُّ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ قُبَيْسٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ جَبَلَةَ سَاحِلِ حِمْصٍ وَهَذَا لَفْظُ يَزِيدَ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَاالْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُسْلِمَ بْنَ مِشْكَمٍ أَبَا عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيُّ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّاسُ إِذَا نَزَلُوا مَنْزِلًا، قَالَ عَمْرٌو: كَانَ النَّاسُ إِذَا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْزِلًا تَفَرَّقُوا فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ تَفَرُّقَكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ، إِنَّمَا ذَلِكُمْ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَلَمْ يَنْزِلْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَنْزِلًا إِلَّا انْضَمَّ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ حَتَّى يُقَالُ لَوْ بُسِطَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَوْبٌ لَعَمَّهُمْ .

What Has Been Ordered Regarding Keeping The Army Close Together (When Camping)
When the people encamped, (the narrator Amr Ibn Uthman al-Himsi) said: When the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم encamped, the people scattered in the glens and wadis. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Your scattering in these glens and wadis is only of the devil. They afterwards kept close together when they encamped to such an extent that it used to be said that if a cloth were spread over them, it would cover them all.
