Hadith on Unity: Separation and division is from the devil...

Abu Tha’labah reported: The people would set up camp and disperse into the trails and valleys. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “This scattering of yours into the trails and valleys is from Satan.” They never set up camp afterward unless they were close to each other, so much so that it was said a single blanket could be spread over them all.

عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ قَالَ كَانَ النَّاسُ إِذَا نَزَلُوا مَنْزِلًا تَفَرَّقُوا فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ تَفَرُّقَكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكُمْ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَلَمْ يَنْزِلْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَنْزِلًا إِلَّا انْضَمَّ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ حَتَّى يُقَالَ لَوْ بُسِطَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَوْبٌ لَعَمَّهُمْ
