The Meaning of the Hadith: Souls Are Regiments

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This brother Salim says: I am asking about some hadiths. What is the meaning of the hadith "Souls are regiments"?

Answer:
Yes, it was explained later
The spirits are in marshaled hosts; those who know one another will be friendly, and those who do not, will keep apart.الأرواح جنود مجندة ما تعارف منها ائتلف وما تناكر منها اختلف
Sunan Abi Dawud 4834Sahih (Al-Albani)
. So every soul, or every spirit, inclines toward its kind. The souls of the good incline toward the souls of the good, and the souls of the evil incline toward the souls of the evil. They find harmony among themselves, so the righteous are with the righteous, and the wicked are with the wicked. This is something observable. You see the good gathering and feeling at ease, and you see the wicked and the hypocrites gathering separately and not gathering with the good. Yes.
