Abu Dawood
Sahih (Al-Albani)
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِثْلَهُ ‏.‏ وَزَادَ ‏‏ وَلاَ تَخْتَلِفُوا فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَهَيْشَاتِ الأَسْوَاقِ ‏"‏ ‏‏
This tradition has also been transmitted by "Abd Allah (b. Mas'ud) through a different chain of narrators. This version adds:
"Do not be irregular, so have your hearts irregular, and beware of tumult such as found in market" .
