Riyad as-Salihin 1070 (Book 8, Hadith 80) #37559
Praying in Congregation for Protection from Satan

SUMMARY: The hadith emphasizes the importance of praying in congregation as it is a way to protect oneself from Satan.

Abud-Darda' (May Allah be pleased with him)reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah saying, "If three men in a village or in the desert, make no arrangement for Salat in congregation, Satan must have certainly overcome them. So observe Salat in congregation, for the wolf eats up a solitary sheep that stays far from the flock". Abu Dawud.
وعن أبي الدرداء رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ سمعت رسول الله يقول‏:‏ ‏ "‏ما من ثلاثة في قرية ولا بدو لا تقام فيهم الصلاة إلا قد استحوذ عليهم الشيطان‏.‏ فعليكم بالجماعة، فإنما يأكل الذئب من الغنم القاصية‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود بإسناد حسن‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of praying in congregation and how it can be used as a form of protection against Satan. It is narrated by Abud-Darda' who heard the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ say that if three people do not arrange for prayer in congregation then they have been overcome by Satan. This implies that when people come together to pray, they are protected from evil forces and can stay away from sinning. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also uses an analogy of a flock of sheep to explain this concept further; he says that just like a solitary sheep is vulnerable to being eaten by wolves, those who do not pray together are vulnerable to being overcome by evil forces such as Satan. Therefore, this hadith encourages us to come together and pray so we can protect ourselves from any harm or danger caused by evil forces.
