Abū Muhammad Yahyā ibn Muhammad ibn Sāid informed us, saying: Saīd ibn Yahyā al-Umawī narrated to us, saying: Abū Bakr ibn Ayyāsh narrated to us, from Āsim, from Zirr, who said: Umar ibn al-Khattāb—may Allah be pleased with him—delivered a sermon in Syria and said: The Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—once stood among us just as I am standing among you, and he said: “Whoever desires the heart of Paradise must adhere to the Community, for Satan is with one who is alone, and he is farther away from two.”
