من كره للرجل أن يسافر وحدهThose Who Dislike Traveling Alone
Hadith 35887
٣٥٨٨٧ - حدثنا وكيع قال: ثنا سفيان عن حجاج بن أبي (يزيد) (١) (عن مجاهد) (٢) قال: سئل رسول اللَّه ﷺ عن الرجل يسافر وحده؟ قال: "شيطان"، قيل: فالاثنان؟ قال: "شيطانان"، قيل: فالثلاثة؟ قال: "صحابة" (٣).
It is narrated from Hazrat Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, "How is it for a person to travel alone?" He replied, "He is a devil," meaning he is sinful. It was asked, "What if there are two?" He replied, "They are sinful." It was asked, "What if there are three?" He replied, "They are the best companions."
