[Machine] He said, "Who has been your companion, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "I have not associated with anyone." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The rider is a devil, and the two riders are two devils, and when they are three riders, the devil does not concern himself with them, except that Malik is not mentioned in the narration." Ibn Harmala said, "And I heard Sa'id bin Al-Musayyib saying, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, the devil seeks to tempt the individual, and he seeks to tempt two, but when there are three, he does not seek to tempt them.' However, in the narration it is not mentioned that a man returned from a journey, but rather the statement of the Prophet ﷺ is mentioned in its entirety."  

لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ صَحِبَكَ؟ قَالَ مَا صَحِبْتُ أَحَدًا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الرَّاكِبُ شَيْطَانٌ وَالرَّاكِبَانِ شَيْطَانَانِ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ رَكْبٌ قَالَ ابْنُ حَرْمَلَةَ وَسَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَهِمَّ بِالْوَاحِدِ وَيَهِمُّ بِالِاثْنَيْنِ فَإِذَا كَانُوا ثَلَاثَةً لَمْ يَهِمَّ بِهِمْ إِلَّا أَنَّ مَالِكًا لَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِي الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ إِنَّمَا ذَكَرَ قَوْلَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ هَكَذَا كُلَّهُ
