40. Unity & Division

Unity                                                                 40 
In mutual kindness, love and sympathy you will see the believers like a single body: when a limb complains, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever.
--Tradition by Bukhari and Muslim. Narrator: N’man-b-Bashir.
 
Division                                                            40 
Surely the devil is to humans just as a wolf is to sheep, attacking those that stray far off from the flock, those which wander and those which take to a corner (away from the flock). So avoid the branching paths and stick to the united body and the majority.
--Tradition by Ahmad. Narrator: Mu’aaz-b-Jabal.
