Hadith 2570
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلانَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْوَاحِدُ شَيْطَانٌ ، وَالاثْنَانِ شَيْطَانَانِ ، وَالثَّلاثَةُ رَكْبٌ " ، قَالَ بُنْدَارٌ : ثنا ابْنُ عَجْلانَ
Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A single (traveler) is a devil, and two travelers are two devils, and three people are a caravan and a group."
وَالدَّلِيلُ عَلَى أَنَّ مَا دُونَ الثَّلَاثِ مِنَ الْمُسَافِرِينَ فَهُمْ عُصَاةٌ، إِذِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أَعْلَمَ أَنَّ الْوَاحِدَ شَيْطَانٌ، وَالِاثْنَانِ شَيْطَانَانِ، وَيُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ: شَيْطَانٌ أَوْ عَاصِي، كَقَوْلِهِ: شَيَاطِينَ الْإِنْسِ وَالْجِنِّ (الأنعام: 112)، وَمَعْنَاهُ: عُصَاةُ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ.
And the evidence that those travelers who are fewer than three are sinners is that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, informed that one is a devil, and two are two devils, and it is likely that the meaning of his saying: "a devil" or "a sinner" is like His saying: "devils of mankind and jinn" (__QUR_6:112__), and its meaning is: sinners among the jinn and mankind.
