28. Chapter of Alif-Lām (Male)
٢٨۔ بَابُ اللَّامِ أَلِفٍ
[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to camp in a place, the people would scatter away from him in the valleys and the mountains. So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and said, "This is the work of Satan." After that, when they camped in a place, some of them would join others until you would say, if a cloth were to be spread over them, it would cover them all or something similar to that.
كَانَ النَّاسُ إِذَا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْزِلًا فَعَسْكَرَ تَفَرَّقُوا عَنْهُ فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا ذَلِكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ» فَكَانُوا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا نَزَلُوا مَنْزِلًا انْضَمَّ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ حَتَّى أَنَّكَ لَتَقُولُ لَوْ بُسِطَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَاءٌ لَعَمَّهُمْ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ
