When the people encamped, (the narrator Amr ibn Uthman al-Himsi) said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ encamped, the people scattered in the glens and wadis. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2628)   

كَانَ النَّاسُ إِذَا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْزِلًا تَفَرَّقُوا فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ تَفَرُّقَكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكُمْ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَلَمْ يَنْزِلُوا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَنْزِلًا إِلَّا انْضَمَّ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ حَتَّى يُقَالَ لَوْ بُسِطَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَوْبٌ لَعَمَّهُمْ  

[Machine] I participated in a battle with the Prophet ﷺ called such and such. The people became restricted in their dwellings and the road was cut off. So, the Prophet ﷺ sent a caller to announce to the people that anyone who restricts dwellings or cuts off a road will have no reward in jihad.

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَضَيَّقَ النَّاسُ الْمَنَازِلَ وَقَطَعُوا الطَّرِيقَ فَبَعَثَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي فِي النَّاسِ أَنَّ مَنْ ضَيَّقَ مَنْزِلًا أَوْ قَطَعَ طَرِيقًا فَلَا جِهَادَ لَهُ 18459 أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ السُّوسِيُّ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ثنا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أُسَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِنَحْوِهِ 18460 وَرَوَاهُ بَقِيَّةُ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ أُسَيْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَعْنَاهُ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ثنا بَقِيَّةُ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ فَذَكَرَهُ
