Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب الفتن باب ما جاء فى لزوم الجماعة

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوقَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عُمَرُ بِالْجَابِيَةِ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّى قُمْتُ فِيكُمْ كَمَقَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِينَا فَقَالَ أُوصِيكُمْ بِأَصْحَابِى ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَفْشُو الْكَذِبُ حَتَّى يَحْلِفَ الرَّجُلُ وَلاَ يُسْتَحْلَفُ وَيَشْهَدَ الشَّاهِدُ وَلاَ يُسْتَشْهَدُ أَلاَ لاَ يَخْلُوَنَّ رَجُلٌ بِامْرَأَةٍ إِلاَّ كَانَ ثَالِثَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْفُرْقَةَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ الْوَاحِدِ وَهُوَ مِنَ الاِثْنَيْنِ أَبْعَدُ مَنْ أَرَادَ بُحْبُوحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَلْزَمِ الْجَمَاعَةَ مَنْ سَرَّتْهُ حَسَنَتُهُ وَسَاءَتْهُ سَيِّئَتُهُ فَذَلِكَ الْمُؤْمِنُ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوقَةَ وَقَدْ رُوِىَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
ʻUmar Ibnul-Khaṭṭāb gave a sermon at al-Jābiyah (1) and said, “People, indeed I stand before you in the way that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, used to stand before us. He had said, ‘I commend my Companions to you, then their successors, then those who succeed them. Thereafter lying will spread so that a man (2) will take an oath, without being bidden to swear; and one will stand as witness without being bidden to testify. Verily, no man will be in a solitary company with a woman, but the devil will be their third. Hold fast to the community and beware of division, for the devil will be nearer to the solitary one and further from the company of two. Whoever wants the luxury of heaven let him keep to the community. He who delights in doing good, and loathes doing ill is a man of faith."
(1): A village in Damascus, Syria. (2): Masculine pronouns are generally used in Arabic as a means for referring to both men and women when the meaning is left general and is not otherwise specified.
