Ajlah said that Imam al-Sha'bi said: "Whenever any three people ride on one mount, one of them is cursed."

Ibn Buraydah said: "My father saw me riding as the third person behind a rider, and he said: 'A cursed person!'"

Jabir said that Amir said: "I went out to the place called al-Hirah to look at the elephant, and I saw al-Harith al-A'war riding with someone mounted behind him. He said: 'If it were proper for three people to ride, we would have mounted you as well.'"

Al-Hasan said: "We were talking with Sayyiduna Muhajir bin Qunfudh (may Allah be pleased with him) when three people passed by on a donkey. He said to the last of them: 'Get down, may Allah curse you!' It was said to him: 'Do you curse this person?' He replied: 'We have been forbidden from this, that three people ride on one animal.'"

Abu al-Anbas said that Zadhan saw three people riding on a mule and said: "One of you should get down, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the third rider."
