[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ would stop at a location, his companions would disperse in the valleys and mountains. He would then stand and say, "Your dispersing in the valleys and mountains is only from Satan." After that, some of them would join together with others when they would stop, to the extent that you would say, "If you were to spread out a fabric over them, it would cover them all," or something similar.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا نَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا فَعَسْكَرَ تَفَرَّقُوا عَنْهُ فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ فَقَامَ فِيهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّ تَفَرُّقَكُمْ فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكُمْ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَكَانُوا إِذَا نَزَلُوا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ انْضَمَّ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ حَتَّى إِنَّكَ لَتَقُولُ لَوْ بَسَطْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَاءً لَعَمَّتْهُمْ أَوْ نَحْوُ ذَلِكَ
