Faith
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ فَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ شبْرًا فقد خلع رقة الْإِسْلَامِ مِنْ عُنُقِهِ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ
Abu Dharr reported God’s messenger as saying, “He who separates himself a handbreadth from the community has cast off the rope of Islam from his neck.”
Ahmad and Abu Dawud transmitted it.
