The Sunnah
Abu Tha‘labah al-Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the people camped, they would scatter in the mountain passes and valleys. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Your scattering in these passes and valleys is only from Shaytan." After that, whenever they camped they would huddle close together.
