Jami at-Tirmidhi 1674 (Book 23, Hadith 5) #27288
The Benefits of Travelling in Groups

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that travelling in groups is better than travelling alone or with just one other person.

Narrated 'Amr bin Shu'aib: From his father, from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allah said: "The (lone) rider is a Shaitan, and two raiders are two Shaitan. Three is a travelling party. Abu 'Eisa said: The Hadith of Ibn 'Umar (no, 1673) is Hasan Sahih. We do not know of it except from this route ; as a narration of 'Asim. And he is Ibn Muhammad bin Zaid bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar. Muhammad said: "He is trustworthy, truthful. And 'Asim bin 'Umar Al-Umayr is weak in Hadith, I do not report anything from him". The Hadith of 'Abdullah bin 'Amr (no. 1674) is better.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُوسَى الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الرَّاكِبُ شَيْطَانٌ وَالرَّاكِبَانِ شَيْطَانَانِ وَالثَّلاَثَةُ رَكْبٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَاصِمٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَحَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ ثِقَةٌ صَدُوقٌ وَعَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْعُمَرِيُّ ضَعِيفٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ لاَ أَرْوِي عَنْهُ شَيْئًا ‏.‏ وَحَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ

Traveling in groups for safety .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of companionship when travelling. It was narrated by 'Amr bin Shu'aib from his father and grandfather that the Prophet Muhammad said “The lone rider is a shaitan and two raiders are two shaitans” meaning that it is not safe to travel alone or with just one other person as this can be dangerous. He then went on to say “Three is a traveling party” which suggests that it would be safer to travel in groups of three or more people as there will be more safety in numbers. This hadith also highlights the importance of companionship when going on journeys as it can help protect against any potential danger along the way.
