Three riding on one animal

Amir said that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "I would not care if I were the tenth of ten on one riding animal, as long as it had the strength to carry us."

Ibn Abi Mulaykah said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him): "Do you remember when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) met me, you and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both)?" He said: "Yes, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted the two of us and left you."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from a journey and we met him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would meet me and Sayyiduna al-Hasan or Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both), and then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would mount one of us in front of him and the other behind him until we entered Madinah."

Sufyan al-Attar said: "I saw Imam al-Sha'bi riding behind a man on a mount."

He said: And he (al-Sha'bi) used to say: "The owner of the mount has more right to sit at its front."
