738
۞
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Allahs Hand [i.e. divine aid] is with the congregation. Whenever a straying individual deviates, Satan snatches him up like a wolf snatches a sheep starying from the herd.
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): يدُ اللّهِ على الجَماعةِ، فإذا اشْتَذَّ الشّاذُّ مِنهُم اخْتَطَفَهُ الشّيطانُ كما يَخْتَطِفُ الذِّئبُ الشّاةَ الشّاذّةَ مِن الغَنَمِ.
