Those who disliked a man travelling alone

It is narrated from Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade travelling alone.

Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) forbade two men from setting out on a journey.

Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) used to dislike that one man or two men should travel, but if they are three or more, then it is permitted.

It is narrated from Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: What of a man who travels alone? He said: "A devil." It was asked: And if there are two? He said: "Two devils." It was asked: And if there are three? He said: "A company."

Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: One who travels riding alone is a devil, two riders are two devils, and three are a company.

Ikrimah said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade travelling alone in a desolate place.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If people knew how much harm there is in travelling alone, no rider would ever travel alone at night."

Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a man from travelling alone and from spending the night in a house alone.

Abu Ja'far said: Do not spend the night in a house alone, for that is when Satan is most intensely bent on you.
