Sunan an-Nasai 847 (Book 10, Hadith 71) #15455
The Power of Congregational Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of praying in congregation and how it can protect people from the influence of Shaitan.

It was narrated that Ma'din bin Abi Talhah Al-Ya'muri said: "Abu Ad-Darda said to me: 'Where do you live?' I said: 'In a town near Hims'. Abu Ad-Darda said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "There are no three people in a town or encampment among whom prayer is not established, but the Shaitan takes control of them. Therefore, stick to the congregation, for the wolf eats the sheep that strays off on its own". (One of the narrators (As Sa'ib) said: "The congregation means the congregational prayer".
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ بْنِ قُدَامَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا السَّائِبُ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ الْكَلاَعِيُّ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمَرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ أَيْنَ مَسْكَنُكَ قُلْتُ فِي قَرْيَةٍ دُوَيْنَ حِمْصَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَا مِنْ ثَلاَثَةٍ فِي قَرْيَةٍ وَلاَ بَدْوٍ لاَ تُقَامُ فِيهِمُ الصَّلاَةُ إِلاَّ قَدِ اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ الذِّئْبُ الْقَاصِيَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ السَّائِبُ يَعْنِي بِالْجَمَاعَةِ الْجَمَاعَةَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of congregational prayer and its power to protect people from the influence of Shaitan. It was narrated by Ma'din bin Abi Talhah Al-Ya'muri that Abu Ad-Darda said to him that he heard Prophet Muhammad say that if three people do not pray together in a town or encampment, then Shaitan will take control over them. Therefore, it is important for Muslims to stick together and pray in congregation as this will help protect them from evil influences like Shaitan. Just like a wolf preys on sheep who stray away on their own, similarly those who do not pray together are more vulnerable to evil influences.
