(السَّفَرُ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَشْخَاصٍ أَفْضَلُ)
(Traveling with three people is better)
Mishkat al-Masabih 3910 — Traveling with three people is better
وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الرَّاكِبُ شَيْطَانٌ وَالرَّاكِبَانِ شَيْطَانَانِ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ رَكبٌ» . رَوَاهُ مالكٌ وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ وَأَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّسَائِيّ
‘Amr b. Shu'aib, on his father’s authority, told that his grandfather reported God's Messenger as saying, "A single rider is a devil and a pair of riders are a pair of devils, but three are a company of riders.” Malik, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud and Nasa’i transmitted it.
