Sunan Abi Dawud:General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab):Hadith 4834
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الزَّرْقَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ بُرْقَانَ - عَنْ يَزِيدَ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الأَصَمِّ - عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الأَرْوَاحُ جُنُودٌ مُجَنَّدَةٌ فَمَا تَعَارَفَ مِنْهَا ائْتَلَفَ وَمَا تَنَاكَرَ مِنْهَا اخْتَلَفَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

The spirits are in marshaled hosts; those who know one another will be friendly, and those who do not, will keep apart.
