Sunan Abi Dawud 547 (Book 2, Hadith 157) #20838
The Power of Praying in Congregation

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of praying in congregation as it prevents the devil from taking control over people.

Narrated AbudDarda': I heard the Messenger of Allah say: If there are three men in a village or in the desert among whom prayer is not offered (in congregation), the devil has got the mastery over them. So observe (prayer) in congregation), for the wolf eats only the straggling animal. Sa'ib said: By the word Jama'ah he meant saying prayer in company or in congregation.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا السَّائِبُ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَا مِنْ ثَلاَثَةٍ فِي قَرْيَةٍ وَلاَ بَدْوٍ لاَ تُقَامُ فِيهِمُ الصَّلاَةُ إِلاَّ قَدِ اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَعَلَيْكَ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ الذِّئْبُ الْقَاصِيَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ زَائِدَةُ قَالَ السَّائِبُ يَعْنِي بِالْجَمَاعَةِ الصَّلاَةَ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of praying in congregation. It is narrated by AbudDarda', who heard it from Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He said that if three people are living together and they do not pray together then the devil will have control over them. This means that when we pray together, we are protected from evil forces and can stay away from bad influences. Praying in congregation also helps us to stay connected with each other and strengthens our bond with each other as a community.
